Notes:

Recording and minutes concerns/discussion Gerald Kunzmann  

• Became aware of recordings but was unaware of previous discussion.
• Concern: May hinder honest exchange - or less open
• Even private zoom chat conversations sent to the host will become part of the public record
• Phil: We can choose the keep the sessions closed. Let's have a brief discussion
• Meeting minutes (OPNFV) were public, but meetings were not recorded.
  • Beth - like recordings as can't always attend
• Please request more private sessions OR ask to suspend recording

EUAG service orchestrator survey comments user-20f1f

• Ryan: More than one response per company? Yes, no more than 3 per company.
• Al: Is the question about VNF managers explicit with the ETSI definition?
  • Beth - any VNF manager
  • Gerald - used the ETSI definition
  • Ryan - interpret as ETSI compliance VNFM
  • Gerald - be more precise on questions
• Separate the questions: NFVO/VNFM which interoperate/merge into ONAP
• Beth - just what we need - another stand alone system in the organization
• Al - OSS functions will look similar across operators - without planning evolution, we're creating another legacy layer
• Beth - Verizon built their own system, it's about 40 years old and showing it's age
• Al - What is the take away? What was the objective and what was the result?
  • Phil - How much compatibility with the ETSI are required. Two parallel approaches: APPC vs VFC - with the latter driving for full ETSI compliance. Results: there is a significant portion of the operators that seek ETSI compliance.
  • Beth - Shows ETSI and ONAP are on the right path
  • Ryan - ETSI compliance important for some portion of the ONAP participants. Others, not so much.

Compliance and Verification Program Survey and OVP beta program Heather Kirksey

• Would like to perform a survey then followup in smaller groups - specific question about willingness to engage in focus group
• Heat vendors may be over represented - welcome more feedback from TOSCA based environments
• Al Blackburn will help correlate some additional feedbacks
