Note: Priority 1 items are proposed to be part of Honolulu. Priority 2 items will be considered as "Stretch goals".

Preparation phase, involving RAN NF instantiation and onboarding

Configuration of RAN NFs over standard O1 - will depend on availability of info models from O-RAN

Slice assurance use cases - this needs to be evaluated further.

Endpoints and transport connectivity related aspects, for e.g., parameters required to be passed to TN NSSMF (how they shall be determined), MP to MP connection, etc.
