Repo Request - portal/nonrtric-controlpanel - 2nd reminder John Keeney
Hi TOC members,
Please prioritise the request below. Thanks Jack for your previous reply.
Thanks,
John

Subject: Repo Request - portal/nonrtric-controlpanelHi TOC members
We agreed at last week’s TOC meeting to permit creation of a GUI for the NONRTRIC function. Thank you.
But we also decided that it would be ok to change the name, however LF will very likely require the name to be included in the official approval.
So I am re-submitting the request with a new name “portal/nonrtric-controlpanel”
I would like to request the following new repo:
- Proposed repository name: “portal/nonrtric-controlpanel”
- License: Apache 2
- A brief description: This repo will be used for the NONRTRIC GUI – for visualising and manipulating NONRTRIC concepts such as A1 Policies/PolicyTypes supported in RAN, R-APPs, etc.
- A list of initial committers:
a) John Keeney, John.Keeney@... , lfid: JohnKeeney
b) Patrik Buhr, patrik.buhr@... , lfid: PatrikBuhr
Note: NONRTRIC GUI functionality already exists in nonrtric repo. This new repo will be the new home for this.
Thank you in advance
