Dear all,
Greetings in the New Year and Wishing you all a Happy and Prosperous 2015!
I am sending you the updates from IEEE Globecom 2014 (Austin, Texas), where we presented the joint SDOs/Fora White Paper on Industry
Harmonization for Unified Standards on SDN, NFV, Autonomic Management & Control (AMC), 5G, ...
Thanks to all panelists, the presentations and discussions at Globecom were very well received. Very good discussions and conclusions on how to keep progressing
the Initiative on Industry Harmonization for Unified Standards on SDN, NFV and AMC.
Here are the main points we agreed at Globecom 2014 on how to progress things. In a nutshell:
1. We
agreed to try to use a Special IEEE Communication Magazine on Standardization (called Communications Standards Supplement) for publishing the joint SDOs/Fora White Paper, to reach a large community. That means as the joint SDOs/Fora White Paper will be maintained
as a living document (we will keep updating it), we would want to try to keep publishing all subsequent versions of the White Paper using the IEEE Communications Magazine of Standards. With support of John, Steven, Mehmet, and Tayeb, where necessary, I will
check with IEEE on the possibility to make use of this Communications Magazine for publishing and updating the joint SDOs/Fora White Paper.
2. We
will arrange for the next joint SDOs/Fora Workshop as follow-up to Globecom 2014 and as follow-up to the joint SDO/Fora Workshop we had in Nice last year, which was hosted by TMF in June 2014. We will check with the SDOs/Fora to see where and when we can co-locate
the Workshop with a meeting of one of the SDOs. We could go for the same arrangement like last year, i.e. to request TMF to host the workshop. We start checking things now. In the meantime we will also keep collecting input to the White Paper and continue
editing it with John and Tayeb.

Hi Steven, Manish, all,
Great. Thanks Steven for this very good input to the topic of Open-source and Standardization. Together with Tayeb and John, we will add a section to the White Paper that presents the Perspectives and Recommendations concerning Open-Source and Standardization.
Manish Patil (Dell) is chair of the OMG SDN WG, and the subject of Open-Source and open Standards is being discussed in his WG. Manish will be at Globecom (will join panel) and so we will discuss with him after the Panel session to ask OMG SDN WG to provide
input on this subject as well into the corresponding section in the white paper. The paper from Steven will also be added to the references in white paper and in the section on this subject in the white paper.
@Steven: By the way we encouraged Tarik Taleb who is charing the workshop at Globecom on "Telecommunication Standards: From Research to Standards" to invite their participants to our Industry Forum Sessions IF-12 and IF-24, and he finds this very good to encourage
the participants to join the joint SDOs/Fora sessions and learn more on how to contribute to the SDOs/Fora.
IF-12:
SDN, NFV, Autonomic Management & Control (AMC) of Networks and Services, and IPv6, as Complementary Enablers for 5G
Wednesday 10th December:
16:15 – 18:00
Joint SDOs/Fora White Paper Slot: IF-24: Industry Harmonization
for Unified Standards on SDN, NFV, Autonomic Management & Control (AMC), 5G, Unified Management of Fixed/Mobile Networks
Thursday 11th December:
16:15 – 18:00
See you soon.
Best regards,
Ranganai

Hi Ranganai,
Just looking at the suggested topics for the Wednesday Session, and noticed you were looking for something about open source and standards to be included.
As it happens I have a paper on this topic that I am presenting during a Monday Workshop session as well. I’ve attached a copy for those interested in this specific topic.
See you in Austin!
best regards

Subject: Re: The Draft of the joint SDOs/Fora White Paper and Template soliciting contributions from your Groups
As Globecom is approaching, I am sending you the Industry Forum Sessions Program in case some of you would like to join us both in the sessions IF12 and IF24 (joint SDOs/Fora White Paper Draft presentation) if you happen
to attend Globecom. There might be other sessions in the program you may find interesting ofcourse, including Demos, technical articles sessions in the main program. The larger Globecom program is available here:
http://globecom2014.ieee-globecom.org/
For those of you who represent individual SDO/Fora Groups, feel free to send me any updates (even in form of slides if you have any recent updated slides) on your group's activities, as we will summarize what individual groups
are doing w.r.t. SDN, NFV, AMC, etc, as part of the living document (white paper) report. Otherwise we will provide summary on the basis of our TMF hosted Nice June Workshop report, and you can send us your updates any time later, even after Globecom.
We will share a summary report after Globecom. Thanks to all panelists and all of you.
Greetings to you all. We hope you had a good summer break. We are sending you the Draft of the joint SDOs/Fora White Paper we have been structuring and preparing for compiling the contributions
from the various SDOs/Fora Groups.
Please find attached a clean version of the Draft (makes it easier to read through) and one with track changes. We kept the list of persons who were involved in Nice, but we will be
adding more names and will probably have to move the Table of contributors to the end of the paper (as it will grow). Individuals may simply provide comments on some points either directly to us the editors or through their group's collective contributions.
Please find attached Template your Group can use to provide us with some input. You will notice that in chapter 11, each Group is allocated a section in which we will put their brief
summaries. Any input, including indications of some plans will be fine. The White Paper will be maintained as a living document, the groups will keep updating it.
With co-editors: Tayeb, John and Steven, we will put efforts to consolidate all the input as we receive the inputs. We will keep you updated with successive versions of the paper.
You have some time to compile input. As we arranged earlier, the first version of the joint SDOs/Fora White paper will be presented at Globecom in December (on the 10th and 11th), Texas,
Austin.
The panel at Globecom will present on behalf of all the SDOs/Fora, but we encourage people to promote the the White Paper in their organizations as well as participating to the Globecom
Industry Forum Sessions in which the paper will be jointly presented (if they can, or they can raise awareness to people from various organizations who will be attending Globecom). For promoting the paper, it may be good to wait for the stable version to come
later. I will send more details on the Final Program of Globecom and Indications of the many interesting Industry Forum Sessions that will cover other topics and technologies.
