+1 on all points below.   Best regards,   Alla Goldner   Open Network Division Amdocs Technology       From: ONAP-TSC@lists.onap.org [mailto:ONAP-TSC@lists.onap.org] On Behalf Of Stephen Terrill Sent: Sunday, July 01, 2018 6:09 PM To: Arash Hekmat <arash.hek...@amdocs.com>; onap-tsc <onap-tsc@lists.onap.org>; onap-disc...@lists.onap.org Subject: Re: [onap-tsc] TSC meetings: length, topics etc.   Hi Arash, All,   Thank-you for the suggestion - I think that this is a topic worthy of debate and bringing forward.  It would be beneficial to create clear expectations on the decision process and the ability to be efficient in this, and allow sufficient time between when the proposal for decision is requested and the decision meeting itself.  Afterall, a “surprise” request for decision is often meet with pushback as there is often a need to reflect and discuss with others.   I agree that all requests for a decision should be posted in advance to give time for reflection, debate and collecting input.  An exception due to time constraints maybe the milestone decisions. -          I support that all decisions requests are posted in advance.  1 week maybe too long though, how about on the prior Monday? -          It can be that decisions required two meeting cycles – the first one can often be for information before the decision if it is complex or controversial.   It may make sense to capture a policy around this; I think also that this is independent of the TS composition as it is also clarity for the community irrespective of the decided TSC composition.   BR,   Steve.   From: ONAP-TSC@lists.onap.org <ONAP-TSC@lists.onap.org> On Behalf Of Arash Hekmat Sent: Friday, June 29, 2018 7:31 PM To: onap-tsc <onap-tsc@lists.onap.org>; onap-disc...@lists.onap.org Subject: Re: [onap-tsc] TSC meetings: length, topics etc.   ONAP TSC,   This is a process proposal for the ONAP TSC meetings. This is independent of the decision on the length and timing of the TSC meetings.   To help shorten the TSC meetings, it may be helpful to have a process where all TSC members views on the topics on the agenda are known before the meeting. This gives time to all the companies to know other companies views and to formulate their responses and votes before the meeting. This may help reduce surprises and lengthy discussions during the meeting.   One way to do this is to use the TSC Meeting Agendas wiki page: https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Upcoming+Agendas   The Linux Foundation (Kenny) could add a structure template to the TSC Meeting Agenda page and for each meeting: Each presenter is asked to list (or upload) their discussion points on the Meeting Agenda page (at least a week prior to the meeting) Each voting TSC member is asked to add their responses or views for each discussion point (at least 24 or 48 hours prior to the meeting) During the TSC meeting, Kenny presents the Meeting Agenda page including all agenda points and the added responses and views For every contentious point, where a vote may be needed, a vote is held during the TSC meeting to make a decision.   It should be clarified that: The TSC Meeting Agenda wiki page should not be used for back and forth discussions and arguments Adding responses or views to the TSC Meeting Agenda wiki page is not a substitute for attending the TSC meeting.   Arash Hekmat (Amdocs)   From: ONAP-TSC@lists.onap.org <ONAP-TSC@lists.onap.org> On Behalf Of Alla Goldner Sent: Friday, June 29, 2018 1:22 AM To: onap-tsc <onap-tsc@lists.onap.org>; onap-disc...@lists.onap.org Subject: [onap-tsc] TSC meetings: length, topics etc.   Hi all,   Following my AI from yesterday’s TSC meeting, I am sending this email out.   We would want to make life easier for those in Asia who attend our (very late for them)TSC meetings on Thursday. Having said that, we should keep in mind that the only timeframe during which we can have our meetings without getting into 12 am-6 am night hours for any of the regions is these timeframe.   One of the proposals raised by community was:   •       TSC meeting time should be shorten to 1 hour - so people in China suffer less due to late evening hours. We should clearly define what are topics on agenda for TSC meetings, and then also: -          what can be discussed by some form of active chat (yet to be defined) -          What may be discussed in bi or 3 - weekly meetings, which are also scheduled in advance   The other suggestion brought by Phill during our f2f meeting last week was to have separate meetings for a different regions.   In any case, further work on the proposals is needed (in case there is a support for any of these), or, alternatively, a new proposal can be brought to the table.   Please let us know what you think about 2 proposals above and bring your own suggestions, if you have some.   Best regards,   Alla Goldner   Open Network Division Amdocs Technology       This message and the information contained herein is proprietary and confidential and subject to the Amdocs policy statement, you may review at https://www.amdocs.com/about/email-disclaimer This message and the information contained herein is proprietary and confidential and subject to the Amdocs policy statement, you may review at https://www.amdocs.com/about/email-disclaimer This message and the information contained herein is proprietary and confidential and subject to the Amdocs policy statement, you may review at https://www.amdocs.com/about/email-disclaimer _._,_._,_ Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
