    • MoU announcement of work  
      • Review draft MoU proposal. 
      • Objective is to get to a point that we can announce the initiative in public if possible in a press release and that we gain visble commitemtn for SDOs.
      • General agreement to the approach of working on opportunities ( Klaus/ETSI, Nick/ETSI, Ranganai/ IEEE).
      • Looking  to get some form of agreement to move these items forward
        - in particular TM Forum keen to get the Operational Use Cases moving forward. which is the subject of second proposal. 
      • Opinion is that would be better to describe as aLetter of Intent rather than Memorandum of Understanding as easier to manage within the organizations for example in ETSI MoU have to have Board Approval.
      • Believe necessary to keep the scope and focus to something achievable.
      • Review of opportunities suggested we should make sure we address the fully scope of topic but at a high holistic level.
      • AP TMForum Dave Milham  update MoU draft to be a Letter of Intent (LoI).
      • AP TM Forum  send a liaison within two days  with LoI request comment and feedback  on the Letter of Intent within 2 weeks. 
      • AP ALL SDO to provide initial comment on the proposal by the 5th July   and indicate when they could formally agree to the Letter of Intent ( will depend on each SDO internal procedures.
    • Agreements needed to share  review and approved  the Joint White Paper 
      • Luigi mentioned that we will need to address IPR issues . Need to be clear whether the SDO are producing the joint documents or the Open Discussion groups as participation is different.
      • Two possible approaches: Multi-SDO IPR agreement . or IPR declarations per documents . Latter may be easier as scope is clear, and we will know from confluence who contributed what.
      • AP TM Forum will draft an MSDO IPR  proposal for review and agreement  by liaison.
