Became aware of recordings but was unaware of previous discussion.
Concern: May hinder honest exchange - or less open
Even private zoom chat conversations sent to the host will become part of the public record
Phil: We can choose the keep the sessions closed. Let's have a brief discussion
Meeting minutes (OPNFV) were public, but meetings were not recorded.
- Beth - like recordings as can't always attend
Please request more private sessions OR ask to suspend recording

Ryan: More than one response per company? Yes, no more than 3 per company.
Al: Is the question about VNF managers explicit with the ETSI definition?
- Beth - any VNF manager
- Gerald - used the ETSI definition
- Ryan - interpret as ETSI compliance VNFM
- Gerald - be more precise on questions
Separate the questions: NFVO/VNFM which interoperate/merge into ONAP
Beth - just what we need - another stand alone system in the organization
Al - OSS functions will look similar across operators - without planning evolution, we're creating another legacy layer
Beth - Verizon built their own system, it's about 40 years old and showing it's age
Al - What is the take away? What was the objective and what was the result?
- Phil - How much compatibility with the ETSI are required. Two parallel approaches: APPC vs VFC - with the latter driving for full ETSI compliance. Results: there is a significant portion of the operators that seek ETSI compliance.
- Beth - Shows ETSI and ONAP are on the right path
- Ryan - ETSI compliance important for some portion of the ONAP participants. Others, not so much.

Would like to perform a survey then followup in smaller groups - specific question about willingness to engage in focus group
Heat vendors may be over represented - welcome more feedback from TOSCA based environments
Al Blackburn will help correlate some additional feedbacks

Is there an interest in meeting face to face for about an hour - this be during ONS (April 3-5)
Had 4 participants raised hand (+ Al, Heather)
Recommend a in-person + remote
