Election Phase
Immediately upon the close of the Nomination Phase, an email will be sent from the Election Coordinator (Phil Robb) via the Condorcet Internet Voting Service (CIVS) to each TSC member. This email will have the subject line: “Poll: ONAP STANDARDS/SDO COORDINATOR ELECTION”. This email acts as an invitation by the CIVS for each TCS Member to vote.

Included in this election invitation will be a pointer to the Election wiki page which contains the names, pictures, biographies, and statements-of-intent for each of the candidates. The email also has instructions and a private URL where each TSC Member is sent to vote.

Statement Of Intent
I am interested in serving as the coordinator of standard based on my strong feeling of devotion to the ONAP project.
My past 13 years’ experience in both standard and open source could help me to do this job. Standard and opensource are complementary each other, most opensource interfaces are de-facto standard, but still some need the help of standard.

Biography
Uri Elzur is the CTO for the Data Center Network Solution Group (DNSG) of Intel’s Data Center Group. In this role, he is responsible for creating SDN/NFV technical strategy, open source top-to-bottom stack architectures (including MANO, OpenStack, ODL, vSwitch) and influence the server platforms.
Uri is a networking specialist with more than 25 years of industry experience and a proven track record of creating innovative product architectures, strategies and in Networking, Virtualization, Security etc. Currently represent Intel at ODL, Open-O (as a VC Architecture) and IETF.
Previously, Uri has held a position of a Sr. Director at Broadcom, managing a networking/NIC architecture team. In that role Uri led multiple innovations in the areas of Virtualization, TCP offload, RDMA, iSER, iSCSI/FCoE.
Uri holds many patents and BSc and MSc EE/CS from the Technion, Haifa, Israel
Statement of Intent
Working in open source communities and standard organizations for multiple years now and specifically in all layers pertinent to ONAP, is in my humble opinion, the background needed to be successful in this important role for the ONAP community. I’ve gathered lots of experience serving as the OPEN-O TSC Vice chair and Architecture chair. I’m proud of the initiatives I’ve led in that community including the initiation of the VNF SDK project that was adopted by the ONAP community too! The VNF SDK was the first open source proposed project to fully include VNFs in a MANO community!
The VNF SDK project is designed to address the painful on-boarding issue and it emphasized the importance of getting VNFs that are in tune with the MANO orchestration as part of the initial design vs. an afterthought. Specifically related to this standards and SDO coordinator position, I’ve also proposed the adoption of a unified, industry-agreed Data Models to enable higher levels of MANO automation and reduction of the VNF vendor’s labor. This has been done in collaboration with all community vendor and considering and integrating the opinions and inputs of multiple VNF vendors.
Positions on level of automation and cloud readiness, are one of the topics that may separate different candidates for this position. We firmly believe that working with relevant standard organizations to promote highest level of automation and agility, are essential to enable Telco to best compete with best cloud efficiencies, for long term NFV success. However, my unequivocal commit is to represent the TSC position whatever it may be!
The time left before the vote is short. So I hope this write up provides some idea of the motivation, proven capabilities and proposed directions
Additional relevant background
· OPEN-O - multiple contributions to the Membership agreement that was used to guide the ONAP’s membership agreement. Active participant in data modeling and standard interactions.
· ODL – serve on the board and was on the TSC in last 2 years. intitiated and drove the Multi Writer work to respolve the issue of multiple projects simultaneously intercting with a vSwitch. Inititiator of the S3P (Stability, Security, Scalabilitya and Perfomance) as a mesure of “readiness” for an open Source project – adopted by ONAP as well
· SFC – working with many of the industry and the community to look for a broad industry agreement for top to bottom SFC
· VNF Data Model – created the initiative for Data Model convergence and industry agreement including multi party public efforts open to all where interoprability and use of the VNF SDK tools created for OPEN-O was demonstrated (e.g. public demo at MWC and recently at L123 NFV World Congress)
· DMTF board member 2008-2010
· IETF – co editor of the NSH (SFC related) draft
· At Intel I lead the stack architrcture MANO through OpenStack, ODL, vSwitches and the server platform. This provides an opportunity
Beyond experience, have demonstraed an un biased handling of technical issues! It is important to note that, we at Intel, do not ship products competing with the key vendors in the ONAP community, we are positioned to handle any potential disagreement in an even handed way!

Standards work:
I have been involved in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for 25 years, attending a majority of the meetings for the past 20 years. Most of my efforts there have been involved in the Applications and Real Time area, the Security area, and the General area (layer 5 on up). I have 20 published Requests for Comment (RFCs), including full internet standards and best current practices. I have been a Working Group (WG) chair four times, for the Open Pluggable Edge Platform WG (OPES, 2005-2007), the Yet Another Mail WG (YAM, 2009-2011), the File Transfer Protocol Extensions (FTPext, 2010-2012), and the Javascript Object Signing and Encryption WG (JOSE, 2011-2012). I have been a member of the RFC Series Oversight Committee (an Internet Architecture Board [IAB] appointed position) for the past four years.
I have also been an adjunct liaison to the C++ Standards Committee since 1991.
