Dear Friends, As you probably saw the email from Guy, NSI 2.0 specification is finalized and now in public comment. In addition, the group discussed the need for NSI implementation agreements to help deploy NSI operationally. The GLIF NSI Implementation working group was formed, but was not in full swing waiting for 2.0 to be finalized. Lars was very supportive and happy to have those discussions as part of the NSI Implementation within the GLIF tech working group - with a face to face meeting colocated with GENI in Atlanta in March. The consensus in the OGF group was to alternate NSI standards discussions with NSI implementation - but hold them in the same timeslot as people already have that time reserved (and not increase the number of meetings). John and I will discuss the objective, process and schedule for discussions of NSI Implementation group, and a set of topics that fit within that scope. We invite participation and contributions from folks looking to deploy NSI. A set of slides presented at OGF is attached for your review.
