Status/Planning
*       Lead time is getting an issue for 2.8 (branch date around July 1st)
      We need to focus on review and merge. Start with L3 tunneling v5 and RTNETLINK v3 then PTAP v2 and Basic NSH v2 when they are out.
*       Simon has some more bandwidth now and agreed to support Ben P with reviews. THANKS!
      We will send notifications to Simon/Ben when we push things for review.

Other
*       Ben Mackcrane explained slow progress in ONF due to ONF/ON.lab merger. Can possibly first document the assigned point codes outside formal ONF spec.
*       Discussed again the problem of Encap/Decap actions in Action Sets: execution order undefined, support for multiple encap/decap actions? In OVS we will not support encap/decap in Write Actions, but we would really like to have support for encap in groups. What to do?
*       Jan to provide access to private gitlab repo to Simon and Ben M.

      Hi,

      Let's have a look at the status and work out a plan how to accelerate the review and merging in order to achieve the agreed target to upstream these changes in time for OVS 2.8.

      Thank you,
      Jan
