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:
