Input from previous brainstorming meeting
Possible Mission Statement: "We exist to enable the telecom industry to collectively deploy architectures and services that serve our customer base. This is a complicated process and we listen to everyone who is a stakeholder in this process and we design solutions based on strategy, belief, and technical knowledge and in this way we advance the communications infrastructure of the world."
~this is the point of our existence – how do we convey that?

- Speed and Efficiency of Deployment
Through the alignment of the developed standards with other industry bodies, the ability to “mix and match” NVFIs and VNFs in the operator platform will be feasible. Automated installs of all vnf/cnfs that work "out of the box first time/every time" will be probable, improving speed of deployment to hours/days verses weeks/months.
Cost Savings
All operators and suppliers are concerned with the improving cost efficiencies. The wide adoption of the standards is not just a technology decision; business drivers, such as lowered operating costs and more NFVi/VNF/CNF interoperability are important considerations. This ability to reduce operational costs must do so while allowing suppliers to differentiate their products/services and thus maintain market share.
Potential Value Prop:
- Cost savings
- Need to capture end result we hope to achieve as well as talking about journey and collective collaboration.
- Needs to be about business value
Current OPNFV value prop: "OPNFV is a project and community for Communication Service Providers (CSPs) and their supply chains focused on network transformation and collaboration to continuously improve the efficiency and predictability of consuming and deploying NFV infrastructure, VNFs, and CNFs. OPNFV does this by iterating through implementation of toolsets, automation, verification, conformance, and performance, aligned with normalized architectures, and enabling the community to drive down cost and time to revenue for network services."

"We exist to enable the telecom industry to transition to cloud with respect to our infra and applications. We do this by listening to our stakeholders, creating projects that enable them and making conformance programs."e need to capture the end result we hope to achieve, as well as talking about the journey and collective collaboration. The starting point expresses some key aspects but it of course needs to be much more succinct and I agree that this time we should not get into too detailed specifics (because the details may change and can be capture in the Technical charter anyways, and with no acronyms.
"We exist to enable the Telco cloud ecosystem to collaboratively design and deliver new reference architectures, tools and verification programs that will dramatically reduce the complexity and cost required to deploy and operationalize cloud infrastructure and services for the world's communications network." We (could also end the last one with "...with and services for the 5G economy" , in order to a bit more evocative around the promise of 5G and cloud native. it's all about business value in the end. ."
Scope
Current OPNFV Scope statement; The scope of the Project includes software development under an OSI-approved open source license supporting the mission, including documentation, testing, integration and the creation of other artifacts that aid the development, deployment, operation or adoption of the open source software project.

Possible deeper dive statements to drive the formulation of the full value prop
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.
