    • Lots still to do!
  • Continue work on rApp Manager - as a focal point for tying together alot of other existing activities
    • Working on some sample rApps. e.g. See Release J: Simple rApp using Hello World Microservice
    • Aim to have an updated version in coming weeks
    • Working on SME & DME integration & improvements
  • Continue maturing the A1-Policy Controller function (ref ONAP) - including a potential new NBI (v3) to achieve R1 alignment
    • Current API will be maintained but deprecated for several releases to come.
    • New API development ongoing. May be some questions for R1-A1-P spec in March train ... TBC

  • Still need to get working on a proper A1-Policy Integration test with OSC near-RT-RIC (A1 Mediator)
  • Will need to de-prioritise many of the older less-used NONRTRIC functions - we welcome others in the community to help take these on if interested.
    • Need to study how/if we can achieve R1-DME alignment. Specs continue to diverge from our implementation - with alot of effort need to align.  We welcome contributors to help here.
