    Hey Jonathan Beltran - I'm concerned that defining a release and lifecycle management for RI/RC, you would essentially be recreating what OPNFV has and does for one release cycle. Maybe your plan is to articulate the CNTT asks and bring them to OPNFV for discussion/adoption? Maybe I'm mistaken of your intent?

    Jim Baker Certainly not looking to recreate any wheels. That's why the first question is 'what is our mandate'? It should probably focus on the Lifecycle and feedback loop side. I'm just not clear what part of 'release' CNTT needs to be concerned about given that the RI and RC now enable a gating effect in the VNF product go-to market plans vs. opt in / opt out validation. And correct, at a base level there should be an alignment around assumptions and needs.
