    6. Meanwhile, SampleVNF project is approved (bh526r, 13:08:24)
    7. David M communicated with Deepak S and Kannan regarding using SampleVNF to support reference VNFs pain points (bh526r, 13:09:09)
    8. Deepak S asked if there is a deployment scenario that needs to be supported? (bh526r, 13:09:49)
    9. David M indicated that it needs Steven W's input in terms of deployment scenario (bh526r, 13:10:40)
    10. Deepak asked if there are specific VNFs Steven W is looking for (bh526r, 13:12:28)
    11. David M explained that Steven W might just want the catalog work to get started (bh526r, 13:12:55)
    12. Deepak asks if there is a detailed list of VNFs (dmcbride, 13:15:15)
    13. Bryan S indicated that EUAG group might not have prioritized anything yet. Everything on the list is subject to further discussion, and further work (bh526r, 13:15:28)
    14. bryan_att questions requirement for "production-quality" (dmcbride, 13:17:45)
    15. SampleVNF is not targeted for "production-ready" VNF (bh526r, 13:20:32)
    16. while EUAG requires "production-ready" VNFs (bh526r, 13:20:58)
    17. will all reference VNFs be open source? (dmcbride, 13:21:26)
    18. The question is if there is a match to use SampleVNF project to address EUAG requirement (bh526r, 13:21:28)
    19. Another question is if "production-quality" is really EUAG requirement (bh526r, 13:22:24)
    20. David M takes action to confirm with Steven W (bh526r, 13:22:42)
    21. ACTION: dmcbride confirms with Steven W if "production-quality" is EUAG requirement or not (bh526r, 13:23:40)
    22. dneary says that any VNF in the catalog should be freely available and useable without restriction (dmcbride, 13:27:01)
    23. http://ec2-34-210-8-241.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:3000/ (jose_lausuch, 13:34:17)
    24. dmcbride clarifies that his goal is to satisfy the EUAG pain point looking for a list of VNFs - he sees the SampleVNF as potentially a good owner of the list (dneary, 13:34:35)
    25. Julien (Julien-zte, 13:35:16)
    26. dneary clarifies that SampleVNF is subject to OPNFV licensing rules - they could add VNFs under open source licenses other than Apache v2 but would need an exception, but there is nothing preventing them from collecting a list of VNFs. (dneary, 13:35:38)
    27. The concern voiced by bryan_att was to avoid a situation where this list means something (eg. VNFs tested by OPNFV on our infrastructure) - running and testing proprietary VNFs could bring us down a slippery slope - but the team should be able to maintain a list of VNFs without restriction (dneary, 13:37:11)
    28. http://ec2-34-210-8-241.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:3000/ (dneary, 13:37:56)
    29. https://wiki.opnfv.org/display/DEV/VNF+Catalogue (morgan_orange, 13:41:04)
    30. bryan_att says that first paragraph falls outside the scope of simply having a catalog of VNFs. MANO problem. (dmcbride, 13:44:07)
