   2. Wenjing summarized what has been updated since discussion last week (bh526r, 13:07:37)
   3. Wenjing clarified that the internal service-to-service communication is the the communication between components within a service. If it maps to k8s terminology, it is pod-pod communication within a k8s service. (bh526r, 13:18:36)
   4. Dave asked if it is solely infrastructure focused or it is also VNF vendor focused? (bh526r, 13:35:20)
   5. Wenjing clarified that it also should be VNF vendor focused. (bh526r, 13:36:15)
   6. Dave also asked what will happen in OPNFV? Will we develop the requirement for CNCF to address it? or will we also develop code? (bh526r, 13:36:58)
   7. Wenjing clarified that we need to identify gaps, and do integration and testing. Once gaps are identified, most of work are expected in upstream, but some work may need in OPNFV too, such as prototyping. (bh526r, 13:38:11)
   8. Prakash indicated that the scope is too wide, such as control plane, data plane, etc. It may be decomposed into several projects (bh526r, 13:38:54)
   9. Wenjing said that we may not solve all problems at once in OPNFV, most of them will be worked on in upstream. So it is not starting from scratch. (bh526r, 13:39:36)
   10. Dave added that the scpe is good, but would like to see focus on cloud native VNF, and best practice of developing cloud native VNFs (bh526r, 13:41:50)
   11. Wenjing will further elaborate the main and focused tasks/deliverables. (bh526r, 13:44:53)
   12. Dave further asked it is more network focused, is there a plan to address storage? (bh526r, 13:57:50)
   13. Wenjing replied that we would focus on too (bh526r, 14:01:07)
   14. General consensus is that this proposal will solve the real issue of cloud native area, and the intention is to bring it to TSC for review on Tuesday Oct 31. (bh526r, 14:05:57)
   15. Meeting adjourned (bh526r, 14:06:47)
