Additional Notes
API URL discussion
Jane - background of akraino.org, 12May20 proposal to TSC mentions apiportal.akraino.org
Tim - organization such as Akraino should have a single entry point for APIs to avoid customer confusion
Tina - to change URLs has to go LF Edge level, propose the approach, include 1) Rationale & Mechanism, 2) Servers, 3) Engineering Support, and 4) Developer Support
Tim -should api.akraino.org point to LF Edge hosted server ? otherwise there is a risk of private private servers going offline for whatever reasons
Consensus - unified API URL subdomain to minimize confusion, action item assigned to Brower to generate brief PPT for presentation
TSC review of whitepaper
Only brief updates so far, in depth review postponed again another week

Jane - some ideas include InterMEC, 2nd whitepaper, consolidated view of application management
Jeff - maybe 2nd whitepaper can focus on webscaler perspective (cloud guys)
