• Agenda bashing
  • 13 - 15 October 2020 LFN virtual F2F meetings.  Topics to be submitted before September 25th at 2020 October Virtual Technical Event Topic Proposals#2020OctoberVirtualTechnicalEventTopicProposals-OPNFV/CNTTTopics
    • Proposed: what are RM topics in the next release?  Proposals and discussions.
    • Proposed: Networking in view if evolved RM (in the container context)
    • Proposed: service mesh
    • Please start forming teams and adding topic to 2020 October Virtual Technical Event Topic Proposals#2020OctoberVirtualTechnicalEventTopicProposals-OPNFV/CNTTTopics
• Agenda 
  1. Baraque:
     • Status update and readiness plan for Baraque release
     • Plan for  handover  to GSMA
  2. Telemetry requirements and guidelines for VNF/NFVI (added by Sukhdev)
• CNTT Marketing is asking us for some talking points about Reference Model in the Baraque release, which they need to promote this release.  I gave him some points (see below). 
  • In Baraque release we focus on making RM technology agnostic to cover both VM-based virtualisation as well as containerisation of network functions.
  • We augmented the model to allow co-existence of different Cloud Infrastructure deployments in line with the evolving technology.
  • To enable the co-existence, a new important element was added to RM: Hardware Infrastructure Manager (HIM) which can allow different virtual infrastructure implementations simultaneously using the same share hardware infrastructure.  CNTT started a collaboration with ODIM on the definition of HIM   (possibly using RedFish).
  • We expanded network and storage discussion within RM, clarifying distinction between the virtual and hardware layers within networking and storage.
  • Baraque version of RM will be handed over to GSMA Networking Group (NG), where it is planned to be published as a GSMA NG PRD (Permanent Reference Document). 
  • The on-going maintenance of this PRD and hence  the collaboration with the CNTT RM will be a responsibility of a newly formed subgroup under GSMA NG called OITF (Open Infrastructure Task Force). In the course of this collaboration, several CNTT RM contributors registered as the members of OITF.
• Please feel free to add your views here:
  • TBD
  • TBD
• Post Baraque:
  • Status of LCM sections review/cleanup
    
    • Need to add specific requirements for Assurance in a table format, Sec 9.3 - need to create a separate issue and PRs, most likely post Baraque/handover
  • Discussion point: how much of "Virtual network specifications" we need to add to RM, after Baraque
  • Addressing gaps - post Baraque
