Dear all,

Here are the minutes of the last telco on AI challenge:

- discussion on the different work-items and some addings (publication of the 
cahllenge to conferences, possibilities to have two phase with a final stage in a 
conference/hackhathon, use of kaggle)
- presentation of potential use cases to develop for the challenge: routing, 
traffic analysis, intent intepretation
- need a platform to perform the challenge (pure data-based validation as kaggle 
vs validating with running experiment in network simulator/emulator)

- General Comments:
-- need to check how other communities propose challenge and what are the outcomes
-- open question: what will be the outcome of the challenge? only a ranking of 
algorithm? What could be useful for NMRG activities then?
-- IBN - AI challenge: can be at the different stage of the IBN pipeline, need to 
understand the requirements of each stage

To follow the activity (with more details about use cases and discussions):

To continue:
- we are looking for volunteers to investigate the feasability and the potential 
outcomes of some uses (either those proposed or other ones). So please raise your 
hand if you're interested.
- to setup a follow-up telco you fill out the following doodle:
