Carlos,

I would like to see3 specific items addressed in the proposal.


   - The first is presenting a clear "end-to-end" test scenario. While the
   past two plugfests have been great for pluggables and NOS vendors, I
   believe our ultimate end goal is certifying from NIC to pluggable to
   chassis to NOS to L3 routing protocols and vice versa.


   - Second is full holding strong transparency & privacy - such as all
   testing scripts, procedures, and configuration files will be made publicly
   available. However in the case of a failed scenario, the involved vendors
   would receive remediation time (say 2 months) to re-test before results
   went public. For example, we've seen a few NOS vendors not correctly
   program pluggable transceivers - usually this is due to a NOS error of some
   sort, doesn't seem fair for a pluggable vendor to be advertised as failing
   due to a NOS vendors problem.


   - A clause or some wording around the use of press - generally UNH-IOL
   events and activities have strict rules against any participant from doing
   media capture (video, photos, etc). This makes sense for a traditional
   consortium that may have pre-release or pre-production equipment, however
   in the case of Open Networking - many of the products are GA and existing
   mass market. It seems incredibly important for us (under the OCP charter)
   to continue education in the industry, presenting media is crucial to this
   effort. Obviously members could opt out if requested, but generally I'd
   like to see something a bit more flexible then "request UNH-IOL staff to
   operate the camera, only group shots, no close-ups" norm. This could be
   worded under the Public Relations section.
