(ChrisPriceAB, 14:12:09) * He proposes the question of if we are doing as much as we could, or should, and is our structure helping us achieve those goals. (ChrisPriceAB, 14:12:50) * Prodip also outlines a desire to have a merit based approach to OPNFV and if we are doing as much as we can to reward and promote those who are contributing strongly to our community. (ChrisPriceAB, 14:13:57) * Prodip also states that the TSC and community has outperfomed many peoples expectations and the rational for change is to promote improvements in the community rather than question if our community is functional as it stands.

(ChrisPriceAB, 14:16:01) * Prodip asks for feedback form the TSC and community on the topics raised and if we can improve our technical structure and governance. (ChrisPriceAB, 14:18:20) * the intention is to gather feedback from the community and identify if any improvements can be made according to the needs of our constituency. (ChrisPriceAB, 14:19:00) * Bryan asks what process has been used for gathering feedback, Prodip responds that the feedback has been provided independantly. Thus the intention to get a broader set of feedback on these topics. (ChrisPriceAB, 14:19:55) * Bryan asks if industry leadership can be better defined. Prodip outlines the breadth of activities in MANO and Forwarding etc where the Board believes OPNFV can play a role in resolving/coordinating industry activities of this nature. OPNFV may be able to be better structured to broker these types of discussions. (ChrisPriceAB, 14:21:57) * Prodip notes that NFV industry leadership is desired to broker architectural discussions within OPNFV (rpaik, 14:22:31) * Bryan also asks about the issues with the meritocratic nature of OPNFV. The answer is that many open source communities have elected committee's rather than elected committee's which may include a transitional phase or establishment as elected committee's. (ChrisPriceAB, 14:23:55) * Margaret also added that having merit-based TSC could also attract more developers (rpaik, 14:26:16) * Bryan adds that even if we move toward a meritocratic structure there needs to be a clear plan and migration activity toward such a structure.
