Overview

This three day face-to-face will be a working session to bring the CNTT work announced at ONS North America to the broader technical community. It is meant to be a collaborative technical working session with the aim of progressing Release 1 of the CNTT Reference Model and Reference Architecture. Please come prepared to roll up your sleeves and dive into hands-on work. Attendees should register to make sure we have capacity correct for all the resources.

In preparation for the meeting, please see the following GitHub repositories for the current working drafts. Please note that these are working drafts. Please also hold off on submitting Pull Requests on these documents until we've all had a chance to level-set and discuss at this F2F meeting.

UPDATED: The CNTT working draft links below have been updated to represent the working draft version to be used during the meeting. Please review the updated drafts before the meeting.

Current CNTT Reference Model Working Draft: https://github.com/cntt-n/CNTT/
