Andreas Geißler Deutsche Telekom	I am an initial member of the ONAP project within Deutsche Telekom. Last year DT joined the Linux Foundation Networking Fund as platinum member to push ONAP forward, helping to shape an excellent platform for managing 5G and cloudified network services. My colleagues and I are looking forward to collaborate on our joint goals for network and service automation. With more than 15 year experience as OSS Software/System Developer and Architect at Nokia/NSN, I joined Deutsche Telekom 3 years ago as Senior Architect working in the "OSS Architecture & Innovation" group of the "Technology Architecture & Innovation" department. Located in Bonn, I am leading DT's ONAP Labs, in which we are hosting multiple ONAP instances used within PoC projects as well as for automated installation and testing.	Dear ONAP Community, I would like to nominate myself as a TSC member of the ONAP community representing Deutsche Telekom AG. Since 2 years I am member in DT’s ONAP evaluation and PoC projects acting as DT’s ONAP Lab manager. During this time I focused on ONAP’s operational aspects (installation and test automation) as well as E2E orchestration functionality. I contributed to the ONAP releases in testing ONAP and reporting issues during our ongoing projects, but also by supporting the Documentation and CDS projects to improve the overall documentation quality with focus on the End-User experience. In addition I am actively contributing to the ONAP testing framework used by the Integration Project to extend the automated E2E testing. I believe I can help ONAP to become the standard automation platform for service providers by focusing on its production readiness and E2E usability. Therefor I look forward to the opportunity to continue to work in the TSC. Biterg.io link: https://onap.biterg.io/goto/99851edb92063dbf9d9e583f742872ee Best regards, Andreas

Ciaran Johnston Ericsson	Ciaran is Chief Architect for Ericsson’s OSS Product Development Unit, with responsibility for the end-to-end implementation architecture of Ericsson’s portfolio of network management, orchestration, assurance and analytics products. Based out of Athlone, Ireland, Ciaran works with a globally distributed development organisation to drive the adoption of new technologies and industry best practices in software development. Ciaran has worked for Ericsson for 19 years, starting out as a software developer and working on many different products in the OSS space. He transitioned to an architecture role 6 years ago, and worked on the architecture of the end-to-end CI pipeline infrastructure for the OSS Portfolio. He has subsequently worked as a deployment architect, focussing on evolving products to virtualization and cloud native architectures, before transitioning to his current role three years ago. Ciaran has been representing Ericsson on the ONAP architecture subcommittee since January 2019. He has attended and presented at a number of community events in 2019, and demonstrated Ericsson’s orchestration capabilities (partially based on ONAP components) at ONS in the US and Europe. He has also served as a proxy on the TSC several times and has supported the community as an occasional stand-in for the architecture sub-committee chair. Ciaran works together with Ericsson’s community of ONAP developers, to ensure that development work we engage in is of high quality and can be adopted in our own products.	Dear ONAP Community, I would like to nominate myself as a TSC member of the ONAP community representing Ericsson. I have 19 years’ experience in OSS software development and architecture, encompassing all aspects of the software delivery pipeline for large scale management and orchestration systems, including software development, architecture and customer engagements. I have been involved in the ONAP community, primarily through the architecture sub-committee, since January 2019. During this time I have proxied for Stephen Terrill on a number of occasions on both the architecture subcommittee and the TSC, and Stephen is supporting my nomination. I have also attended and presented at two ONAP events. Internally in Ericsson I am responsible for the overall definition and governance of our OSS product portfolio architecture, encompassing orchestration, management and assurance. In this role I work closely with our ONAP developers as we contribute code to, and adopt code from, the ONAP community. As ONAP transitions from an incubating project into an industrialized platform capable of mainstream adoption and commercialisation, it is critical that a strong focus is given to quality control, modularity, interface definitions and clearly defined scope for each project and the overall platform. To that end, if I am selected to the TSC, I would focus on promoting the improvement of these aspects of the platform.

His main interests are around cloud architectures, network virtualization and optimization.	Dear ONAP community, I would like to nominate myself as a TSC member of the ONAP project representing Vodafone. My work in Vodafone has always been focused (and still is focusing) in delivering new innovative approaches to Network Virtualization and, later on, on Cloud paradigms applied to Telcos. Since May 2017, I am responsible for the Vodafone Open-Source strategy and activities. I have joined (and recommended Vodafone to join) the ONAP community in June 2017 and since then I have been involved in several projects and Use Cases such as CCVPN (for Casablanca and Dublin release). My team managed the delivery of Vodafone contributions to ONAP (API, functional code and platform enhancements) and, between Casablanca and Dublin release, increased the committed lines by 5152% (+633% unique commitments). Currently, I am representing Vodafone in several Linux Foundation Networking boards (i.e., ONAP TSC, TAC, SPC and, occasionally, the LFN Governing Board) and in cross-functional collaborations with other Open Source projects (e.g., LFN, TIP, O-RAN and OSM). I have promoted ONAP internally across the Vodafone ecosystem (~75 operators) and in various external events (SDN World Congress 2017, OSN Days London 2018, ONS NA 2018 & 2019, ONS Europe 2018 & 2019). I am a strong advocate of open collaboration and of Open Source to drive the telco Industry into the future. ONAP is one of the best (probably the best) Open Source Communities and I am honored to be part of it.
