Thank you for the reference to MANO.  I had seen it before, but I will
review it and send comments.

Thanks, Sue - I think it's really important to highlight what distinguishes
vnfpool from other effort.  On the control/management front, there's been a
fuzzy line between what ends up in the OPS area and what ends up not in the
OPS area on management topics, and there's some flexibility there.  Mehmet
has brought NFV management discussion into the OPS area from ETSI (where
it's known as "MANO," management and orchestration).  Slides from the
Vancouver meeting here:
