  • Letter of Intent: Autonomous Networks Multi-SDO Initiative
    • This Letter of Intent (LoI)  was proposed to the formal group as a possible way to publicize  joint work .
    • Primary goal was to be able to announce commencement of Joint work and give and initial scope. 
    • It was discussed in conjunction with example of the work outlined in contribution MSDO-5  describing WP02  so as to provide context to the LoI notion.
    • Actions to revise and distribute LoI to SDO has been done . Request was to solicit what each SDO would need to do to be able to agree to this Letter of Intent.
    • Thomas Tovinger  SA 5 stated that SA5 had reviewed and their opinion was that they would ne SA approval ( 3GPP is a Contractual Partnership  agreement between supporting SDO) and the next Meeting was in Sept 2021 where there may be feedback and comment . SA5 will liaison this information back formally.
    • Dave Milham mentioned that he is progressing action at the Formal Meeting on an IPR framework for the Collaborative work with TM Forum Lawyer . Options go fro common agreement across 10 SDO (hard and time-consuming); to per joint deliverable agreements which is more focused and easier as only those contributing need to agree One suggested option could be  Creative Commons 4 . But plan is prepare a short list of options for discussion on the Formal meting calls   
• Progress on WP
  • WP 02 Autonomous Network Roadmap and Landscape: (Operations Focus) MSD02  and tables Topic / SDO Matrix and
    SDO Completed and Planned AN Activities Tables
    • Reviewed  MSDO-5  proposal for structure of  document from TM Forum.
    • Much of the paper could be constructed form contribution in previous meeting and by use of the table  Topic / SDO Matrix and
      SDO Completed and Planned AN Activities Tables  to support operational use cases from CM in WP02 .
    • Need to get input on Completed and planned AN activities with solely a focus on the operational use cases. 
    • Analysis and recommendations  would need joint agreement between contributors hence need for some IPR coverage.
    • TM Forum  plans to put up a working page with sample material following the structure in MSDO-5.
    • Thma menetonte that 3GPP still have some question about completing the tables using the templates.
    • AP Dave Milham will coordinate with SA5 to resolve those outstanding table template questions.
  • WP04 Common Operating Principles
    • Deferred as IEEE representative unavailable. 
• AOB
  • Discuss of what part of the AN-SDO working area could be opened up to anonymous read-only access.
  • Current set up is based on current approach of minimal registration l and putting participants on an group access list and a email.
  • Nurit mentioned that other groups such as ETSI do allow anonymous read only access to approved working drafts and final documents.
  • Dave comment we aren't as yet at the point of having agreed drafts or final document but it was something to review and provide a solution.
  • AP Dave Milham will speak to IT support about options for making some MSDO team approved documents publicly visible to anonymous access.
