Review and Agree to Minutes of Previous Meeting
There is no comment raised on the 0805 meeting minute.
Decision: Moved by Jinri and seconded by David, without objection and abstention, the 20200805 meeting minute is approved.
Jack also mentioned that the history TOC meetings are also archived. The link is at the bottom of the page.
Review of Today's Agenda
No new agenda items raised. Some topics, such as some remaining question regarding the Bronze Maintenance Release, the nomination status etc. will be discussed in old business section (e.g. release note etc.)
Release Votes and Approval.
Jack mentioned that there were a couple of APs last week regarding the Maintainence Rel.
Lusheng responded: one request is from Jinri which is about a summary of changes. That was done. See https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=14221635. Regarding the licensing, 2 ways. One is to manually went through all the updated files to make sure the licensing is ok. Another check is done by Steve from LF. No problem found. Also clarified that O-CU is not in the scope.
Jack: did that address people’s questions to cover the maintenance Release? Any more question? No response.
Motion moved by Lusheng to accept and release the Bronze maintenance release;
Jinri seconded;
There was a comment from John-Paul, indicating that he was not on the call last week. Will vote in the dark. Jack indicated that last week John Keeney was the deputy and he did not raised an critical issues. Indeed, he also indicated some updated on NRT RIC in the maintenance release. John is fine with the response.
ALL the TOC members voted yes. There is no objection/abstaintion.
Decision: The maintenance release is approved.
Jack: raised the issue in EC meeting, there was a good discussion. EC members are working together to improve the situation. Right now, the copyright is not available to us until after 60 days;
Jinri commented that during the EC call, there was a draft proposal which is to provide “draft approval” for the usage of copyright within 60 day window. However, that was just an idea. Still need further confirmation from EC in the future.
Marketing of the current release (WG, LF, PR)
Jinri indicated that this item is not just about marketing. It should be related to many other O-RAN issues. Suggest to change the name to O-RAN-related business (EC/TSC/WG/, marketing etc.);
Jinri indicated recently O-RAN has initated the work on TSC-level minimum viable product (MVP) which is important to OSC’s future planning. Will come back with more information when there is more consolidated result.
Jack also indicated that more representation should be in the RSAC from different companies. All the major companies involved should be part of the RSAC committee. PTL have already been there. Operators should also be there too. So people could understand better. Sometime, two lines of items means 2-year coding. Understanding where the SW is from our standpoint to where we can achieve, the goal is important to their process. RSAC should be involved in the discussion. At least some people. It is daunting to steer through the list of spec. and capabilities for any particular release. Always a lot of opportunity there. Yet what to focus with the limited resource? How to do that? Getting more people involved. RSAC is important.
Lusheng will be leaving on from the assignment from a couple of weeks later, expecting people to step in and help; will be some big gap (lusheng has been doing a lot); need more participation in that space; ATT will participate yet need someone to take leadership there;
Status of Open Action Items (Old Business).
O-CU update. See the presentation. https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/download/attachments/10715432/OSC%20O-CU%20RelC%20-ICT-8.12.pptx?api=v2
Questions are raised on e.g. whether the handover procedure could be supported, how/when the O-CU could be integrated with O-DU-HIGH. Some discussion on this. No conclusion. A suggestion from Jack is to request O-CU PTL to organize a meeting and invite all the relevant projects (O-DU-HIGH, OAM, RIC etc.) and discuss the cooperation. Another suggestion from Rittwik is to prioritize the items shown on the slide to make sure some key features such as handoff could be supported for traffic steering use case. It is indicated that if we wait for the 3GPP O-CU features to be finished and then add on the E2 support, it will be two release late.
A reminder to make sure work is ongoing. Will go throught the table in the upcoming week;
Currently there are two nomination from Ericsson and VMWare. The nomination will be open until next week TOC call. After that, the voting will be kicked off.
AP: Jack will talk with Trisan offline to make sure the voting process is right.
Next TOC call, the candidates will be invited to give a short introduction talk.

Matin not here. Alex made the presentation which is on https://wiki.o-ran-sc.org/display/OAM/2020-08-12+OAM+report
There was a question out there relevant to OTF team and Alex is suggested to reach David Kinsey for help.
Question from David: If go with DECA microseverice, how much of the DCAE needed up and running in the environment for the OSC to be functional? No conclusion/answer to it. Will be discussed in RSAC. In particular, it is also related to the job division b/w SMO, OAM, ONAP.
David: RSAC this week not holding meeting, rittwik not available. Suggest to hold this question off and line it up after we have the SMO vote to make sure have right people on; Later there will be two RSAC meetings per week. We are already a little behind for the cherry;
Jack: Regarding how to work with other projects, EC is pushing us to enhance the cooperation; would like to make sure RSAC involved in any requirements we asked for. There is a Jira request on our side document that request and how we can use it. Be careful about how much we build requirement for ONAP. Not all the communities are committed to ONAP. Have to make sure the committeement we made. That is why we need more participation in RSAC going forward. Need better job of coordination;
Tracy: for some of the requirements that are understood, are you meaning creating corresponding jira ticket in the OSC or coross-referencing? Jack: yes. Not want to duplicate things. There is need to record the process so O-RAN can find out what we are relying on them.
