Re: [vnfpool] new VNFPool draft charter

["King, Daniel" <[e-mail]>]

Hi All, 

Thanks Ning and Melinda for the draft charter text, overall the direction and work items look great to me. 

Still, being overly opinionated, I do have a few comments:

Charter Text
- Maybe break existing bullet, into two bullets (and minor grammar fix - "the Pool Manager": 

o Analysis of pooling security characteristics and requirements to identify and mitigate threats against the pooling mechanism. 
o Identification of an appropriate trust model between pool members, and between pool members and the Pool Manager.

- Also, does Trust imply Policy, or vice versa?     

- Adding [secure] as requirement in the transport protocol selection. Or maybe I am predetermining the protocol requirements, but then again we already state "reliable" mechanism:

o Investigate and select a [secure] and reliable transport protocol, such as MPTCP and SCTP, for delivery of the messages associated with the redundancy management within a VNF Pool.

Charter Milestones
- Perhaps specify a security should be investigated along with manageability in the following milestone:

"August 2015 - Submit VNFPool Requirements, including the manageability and security of VNF Pools to the IESG for publication as an Informational document."

- Slight clean up (grammar and adding the word "document") on the charter milestones, these would become (note the inclusion of "security"):

December 2014 - Submit VNFPool Problem Statement to IESG for publication as an Informational document.
April 2015 - Submit VNFPool Use Cases to IESG for publication as an Informational document.
August 2015 - Submit VNFPool Requirements, including the manageability and security of VNF Pools to the IESG for publication as an Informational document.
August 2015 - Submit VNFPool Architecture to IESG for publication as a Proposed Standard
December 2015 - Submit Applicability and Gap Analysis of RSerPool to IESG for publication as Informational document.

Spelling NITs in Charter Text
- "Conceptionally" to "Conceptually"
- " envisoned " to "envisioned"
