4. OPNFV Usage and Priorities
Clarify how the OPNFV platform might be used by different participants by creating a set of epic user stories around usage of the platform
of the form "As a <role>, I use the OPNFV platform to <achieve objective> so that <success criteria is achieved>.” e.g.
As a VNF Provider, I use the OPNFV platform to  validate interoperability with multiple orchestration scenarios so that  ingestion and administration problems in my customer's operational deployments are minimized.
As an Ethernet Service User, I  use an operating OPNFV Platform to instantiate an E-Line service instance between defined endpoints so that an E-line Service is available for use.
As a NS Provider, I use the OPNFV Reference Platform in my lab  to overcome interoperability issues faced during onboarding (e.g. vendor A vEPC onboarding with vendor B VIM) so that the interoperability issues could be identified and resolved prior to production deployment.

5. Pain Points Discussion:
Identify pain points with various components/aspects of NFV/SDN platforms
Coalesce project initiatives and resolution strategies
Guidance on the prioritization, sequencing, and precise use stories and scenario(s) of user pain points
A number of Pain Points Identified
Still going through clarification, classification and prioritization of many Pain Points
The first pain point for the group to clarify and detail is VNF Onboarding
Active discussion on EUAG Wiki here:
Additional pain points under discussion and prioritization
Likely something in the area of network service instantiation/deployment
