Mission Statement: Empower the global communicatio= ns community by creating and developing reference cloud infrastructure mode= ls, architectures, conformance programs and tools to deliver network servic= es faster, more reliably, and securely.
(PG: missing the foundation, viz., = Reference Model) (Walter K: I agree with PG, it is extremely important to r= emember that CNTT proposes ONE Reference Model from which different technol= ogy architectures are derived. This is our strength. I propose: "developing refere= nce cloud infrastructure model, architectures, tools, ...". I would p= refer "developing" rather than "creating"; we have already= created a lot of good stuff, which has been acknowledged in the telco indu= stry; let us not forget it)
SK; I would add conformance as w=
ell to say "
BFC: Got all of the comments = in.
Scope:
Anuket develops open reference infrastructur= e models, architectures, tools, and programs. Open source software develope= d within the project will leverage OSI-approved licenses, while documentati= on, including specifications, will leverage open licenses. The scope of the= project includes but is not limited to:
(a) Enabling member = communities to align on reference model, architecture and implementation re= quirements and specifications for cloud-based communications infrastructure= and workloads (Walter K: again our unique model seems to be lost; I propos= e , "...to align on the reference model, reference architectures an= d reference implementations..." (BFC: Added reference to the state= ment.)
(b) Supporting= open source and open standards communities in the ecosystem,
(c) Developing an in= tegrated, tested, and validated open software reference infrastructure= (including interfaces to hardware), with tools of its own design and&= nbsp;from upstream testing projects,
(d) Helping des= ign a conformance framework and validation programs,
(e) Contributing to = and influencing upstream projects leveraging the reference infrastruct= ure,
(f) Creating new ope= n source components within the reference infrastructure wher= e needed,
(g) Supporting = ongoing strategic activities and evaluating emerging technologies to foster= continued deployment success.
Older Drafts/Notes:
(PG) Typically mission statements do not get= into the weeds about how. So suggest as in the comments: "Empower = the global communications community to deliver reliable and secure network = services faster."

BobM: It has just occurred to me that by changing last few words...we do= not make network services themselves fast, or reliable, or secure. The pre= vious version said, more correctly, that we do work that makes it easier to= deliver services faster, more reliably and securely. Hopefully the d= ifference is clear here in the subtle wordsmithing.
BobM: Oct23- Made the change we agreed to above, in the Meld Mktg meetin= g, including pulling back from adding too much technical specifics , too ma= ny "ands". The term "reference" was agreed to be crucial and when coupled w= ith architectures, we felt that this encompassed a great deal, could imply = models, specifications, requirements all at once- so this could suffice.&nb= sp;

Current OPNFV Scope statement; The scope of the Project includes softwar= e development under an OSI-approved open source license supporting the miss= ion, including documentation, testing, integration and the creation of othe= r artifacts that aid the development, deployment, operation or adoption of = the open source software project.
Proposed new scope:
Anuket supports the development of ref= erence infrastructure architectures using open source license and= reference documentation, requirements, and specifications under <creati= ve commons>. These include release documentation, architecture and requi= rements documents, testing, integration, and the creation of other artifact= s that aid in the development, deployment, operation, or adoption of the op= en source project. Scope includes but is not limited to
(a) Foster close collaboration of memb=
er of the global telecommunications community to align on architecture =
and implementation requirements and specifications, integrate=
and build tests, tools, and components for NFV infrastructure, VNFs and CN=
Fs which realize the stated outcomes. (HRK =E2=80=
=93 May not need the last bit of this sentence =E2=80=93 seems competi=
tive to vendors and a-e restate more cleanly) (PG: IMHO, Scope statement relate to work but not =
the intent =E2=80=93 "Foster close collaboration ..." is more like a Missio=
n or Purpose)
(b) Develop an integrated, tested, and certi= fied open software reference infrastructure (including interfaces= to hardware), with tools of its own design and from upstream testing = projects,
(c) Contribute to and influence upstrea= m projects leveraging the reference infrastructure,
(d) Create new open source components w= ithin the reference infrastructure where needed,
(e Drive open standards and open-= source-based ecosystems,
(f) Support for the strategic framework= through the technologies made available by the organization to make the&nb= sp;Reference Infrastructure testing, certification, and deployment a succes= s. (HRK =E2=80=93 Make this more clear =E2=80=93 cur= rently up for multiple interpretations)
Also possible to add these to the scope statement
When we define value prop, should consider the types of work we do that = isn't release artifact-based.
Note that this is taken from the OPNFV 2.0 work; need to integration any= thing missing from CNTT

mmunication Service Providers (CSPs) and their supply chain to

(d) building new open source components= within the reference infrastructure where needed,
(e) leveraging open implementations to = drive an open standards and open-source-based ecosystem for = NFV solutions,
(f) supporting and maintaining the stra= tegic framework of the Project through the technologies made available= by the organization to make the Reference Infrastructure testing, cer= tification, and deployment a success.
