NFV-I Platform Capability Registry Governance Process

Process Overview

The registry is managed by the Solutions working group (SOL WG), part of the ETSI Industry Specification Group NFV (ISG NFV).

Registry requests submission

Registry requests for creation, modification, deprecation or deletion of registry entries shall be made using the prescribed template and submitted to NFVSupport@etsi.org.

NOTE: Registry requests may be submitted by anyone. Submission is not limited to ISG NFV Members or ISG NFV Participants.

The prescribed template is available at template

Requests for creation, modification, deprecation or deletion of “company specific” registry entries in the registry shall be submitted by a representative of that company.

NOTE: “company specific” entries are those where the “hardware” field is not set to “generic”

Registry requests processing

The SOL WG is responsible for review and disposition of all requests to create, modify, deprecate or delete registry entries. Requests are handled as other contributions submitted to the SOL WG.

The decisions taken as a result of the requests review and their motivations are made publicly available.

Registrants can participate in the decisions by attending the reviews if they represent an ISG NFV Member or Participant and may be invited otherwise for presenting and answering questions on their requests.

Maintaining the relationship to ETSI specifications

Current platform capability categories are defined as part of the ETSI GS NFV-IFA 011 specification, and are mapped to TOSCA data types and YANG as part of ETSI GS NFV-SOL 001 and ETSI GS NFV-SOL 006 specifications respectively.

The Rapporteurs of the corresponding work items are responsible for identifying whether new versions of these deliverables require changes to the registry structure.

+=== Process Overview ===
-=== The Designated Expert Group ===
+The registry is managed by the Solutions working group (SOL WG), part of the ETSI Industry Specification Group NFV (ISG NFV).
-The registry will be managed by a Designated Expert Group, comprised of representatives from at least two ETSI NFV ISG Members or Participant companies.
-Any individual representing an ETSI NFV ISG Member or Participant can self-nominate to be a member of the Designated Expert Group, provided that the number of Designated Experts per Member or Participant company does not exceed two.
+=== Registry requests submission ===
+Registry requests for creation, modification, deprecation or deletion of registry entries shall be made using the prescribed template and submitted to NFVSupport@etsi.org.
-All Designated Expert nominations will be proposed by the ETSI NFV SOL WG for ratification by the ETSI NFV ISG Plenary.
+NOTE: Registry requests may be submitted by anyone. Submission is not limited to ISG NFV Members or ISG NFV Participants.
-Companies that either directly consume or implement some, or all, of the platform capabilities, are strongly encouraged to participate in the Designated Expert Group.
+The prescribed template is available at [https://nfvwiki.etsi.org/index.php?title=File:Template_Capability_registration_template_for_HPC_registry.docx template]
-The list of Designated Experts, along with their company affiliation, will be made publicly available.
+Requests for creation, modification, deprecation or deletion of “company specific” registry entries in the registry shall be submitted by a representative of that company.
-=== Designated Expert Group responsibilities ===

-The Designated Expert Group will be responsible for specifying and enforcing the request evaluation criteria. Proposed request evaluation criteria will be submitted by the Designated Experts Group for endorsement by the ETSI NFV SOL WG and ratification by the ETSI NFV ISG Plenary. Ratified evaluation criteria will be made publicly available.
-The Designated Expert Group will be responsible for specification & enforcement of operational procedures, such as meeting frequency, request response time, etc.  Proposed operational procedures will be submitted by the Designated Experts Group for endorsement by the ETSI NFV SOL WG and ratification by the ETSI NFV ISG Plenary. Ratified operational procedures will be made publicly available.
+=== Registry requests processing ===
+The SOL WG is responsible for review and disposition of all requests to create, modify, deprecate or delete registry entries. Requests are handled as other contributions submitted to the SOL WG.
-The Designated Expert Group will be responsible for scheduling request review meetings. The proceedings of these meetings will be made publicly available.

-In case the Designated Experts Group cannot reach consensus on the disposition of a request in a reasonable time, the issue will be raised and escalated to the ETSI NFV Technical Steering Committee (TSC) by an ETSI NFV ISG working group official (participating ex-officio on the Designated Experts Group mailing list, or as formal Designated Expert). The ETSI NFV TSC will prepare an ISG contribution with sufficient input to facilitate decision-making by the ETSI NFV ISG Plenary on the disposition of the request. The final decision for the disposition of the request will require ETSI NFV ISG Plenary approval.
-=== Registry requests ===
-Registry requests for creation, modification, deprecation or deletion of registry entries will be made by submitting a request to the Designated Expert Group mailing list. A template shall be created to support registry requests.
