Partial list of issues discussed:

1. Are the Definitions of Gates clear?
   
   1. Testing of the CNTT-selected RC Test Cases
   2.  projects must pass Gating (s 17)
   3. Gates need to be established, install without errors, simple functional tests, success of more advanced features and automated with X-testing
2. Pre-requisites, include Integration TEST project (Morgan in ONAP), test what OPNFV delivers.
3. OPNFV needs to Release and Support tests that are reliable.
   1. "Establish" items are the key steps for TSC: Requirements Vetting and Integration Test SCs
4. Documentation: Jerma Requirements Working Group Assessment
