Empowering the global telecommunications community to create new cloud infrastructure reference models and architectures, tools and programs to deliver fast, reliable and secure servicessecure network services.
NOTE: After further thought, I am unsure how we are adding to the "securely" part, but open to including it again if we can point to where we do this.

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.
Proposed new scope:
The scope of the Project includes both software development under an OSI-approved open Anuket supports the development of reference infrastructure architectures using open source license and reference documentation, requirements, and specifications under <creative commons> in order to support the mission. These include release documentation, architecture and requirements documents, testing, integration, and the creation of other artifacts that aid in the development, deployment, operation, or adoption of the open source project. Activities of the Project include but are Scope includes but is not limited to
(a) Fostering close collaboration of Communication Service Providers and their supply chain to Foster close collaboration of member 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 CNFs which realize the stated outcomes of this mission, . (HRK – May not need the last bit of this sentence – seems competitive to vendors and a-e restate more cleanly)
(b) Developing Develop an integrated, tested, and certified open software reference infrastructure (including interfaces to hardware), with tools of its own design and from upstream testing projects,
(c) contributing changes Contribute to and influencing influence upstream projects leveraging the reference infrastructure,
(d) Creating Create new open source components within the reference infrastructure where needed,
(e) leveraging open implementations to drive an Drive open standards and open-source-based ecosystem for NFV solutionsbased ecosystems,
(f) supporting and maintaining Support for the strategic framework of the Project through the technologies made available by the organization to make the Reference Infrastructure testing, certification, and deployment a success. (HRK – Make this more clear – currently up for multiple interpretations)
