Subject: Berlin I2NSF F2F meeting agenda consideration, and how to align mutliple drafts on the "Customer Facing Interface" and "NSF facing interface"

I2NSF Participants,

At  Berlin I2NSF F2F meeting, we are going to group presentations based on the if they are applicable to "Customer Facing Interface (A)" or "NSF Facing Interface (B)", as shown in the I2NSF reference model.
After glancing through the drafts contributed so far, we have grouped them in the following categories. Please let us know if we are wrong.

-       Service Requester facing interface (was Client facing interface)
*        draft-mglt-i2nsf-ssf-collaboration-00 (Flow Policy between Cloud network and Provider network)
*        draft-kumar-i2nsf-controller-northbound-framework (Rakesh Kumar)
*        draft-pastor-i2nsf-vnsf-attestation-02 (Requester to controller validation)
*        draft-kim-i2nsf-security-management-architecture-01
*        draft-you-i2nsf-user-group-based-policy (10 minutes)

-       NSF Facing interface:
*        draft-xia-i2nsf-capability-interface-im-06
*        draft-baspez-i2nsf-capabilities-00
*        hares-i2nsf-capability-yang-00
*        draft-zhang-i2nsf-info-model-monitoring-01
*        draft-jeong-i2nsf-sdn-security-services-04
*        draft-jeong-i2nsf-capability-interface-yang-00
*        draft-hyun-i2nsf-sfc-enabled-i2nsf-00
*        Rafa: IPSec policy exchange between Controller and network functions
*        draft-you-i2nsf-user-group-policy-capability

To make the Face to Face meeting more productive, we are going to have a side pre-meeting among the authors on each interface to discuss if there are overlaps or/and the differentiation among their proposed schemes. I will send out a Doodle poll for each of the side discussion.
