Project release plan	Plan submitted by each participating project that describes what the project plans to accomplish, how the work will be tested, what documentation will be produced, and what artifacts will be released.

Requirements planning	We need to agree as a project on which RM and RA requirements we will implement for a release. In addition, there may be other requirements, such as the Python 3 migration, that we may want to accomplish for a release.	Requirements planning process	For OPNFV Iruya, we had the idea of a requirements working group, which was a combination of TSC members and PTLs.
