New Procedures in API Backlog WG meetings
A number of improvements are under discussion with leadership team of OGW project (Henry), CAMARA Project (Markus), Product Definition WS (Helene) and TSC (Herbert). As of today, the WG adopted agreements are three:
- To close the agenda SEVEN DAYS BEFORE the conf. call.
- In case a WG participant wants to include a point in the agenda (e.g., present a new API proposal), this participant shall ensure the corresponding issue is opened in Github by then.
- Exceptional situations will be treated separately.
- New schedule of conf. calls **The meetings are to be held by Linux Foundation (Links available at GitHub and Confluence Backlog front pages)
- 2nd Thursday of the month (10-11 CET)
- 4th Thursday of the month (15-16 CET)
- Send agenda to TSC mail list, to encourage more TSC member companies to join the call and provide comments when they identify APIs which are of interest for them.

DECISION: Approved
Recent Updates & Recap
TSC meeting 20th June:
...
- In the sake of the health of the CAMARA group, so that the projects do not lose their activity as soon as they are born, it will be proposed that in order to approve new API proposals, these must be supported by at least 2 companies (MNO or suppliers indistinctly). An issue will be opened within governance encompassing this. TSC will take a decission next meeting
- This issue seems to be under discussion, some companies have commited to make a more relaxed alternative such a sandbox
- To launch the Repo itis needed 2 people from differen companies
- Get formal commitment for TSC → Ricardo
- Device Data Volume and Device Quality Indicator are to be approved by TSC, formal consent from the Device Status subgroup is required → Noel and Eric will be joinning Device status meeting
Other topics
GSMA informed CAMARA Backlog that Open Gateway is considering certain Drop2/3 APIs that have been stuck in Backlog, “at risk”, due to lack of support. What this means is that GSMA is pushing our MNOs to actively reconsider within the next 2 weeks if they can support them. By raising it in the Backlog meeting we increase the chance to find enough support to “reactivate” progress.
...
For clarity if any API is not a priority for OGW anymore at this point in time, we still expect they can progress independently in CAMARA.
Noel and eric will be joinning Desvice status meeting

China Unicom | New API Proposal: Shutdown ServiceStatus The API tempate is available in PR#32 | (relations with device status to be considered) Device Status seems to not fit withion the API proposal, anyhow Yang will be opening an issue to check this May fit better in other API Status based group (Number verification maybe) Wait until is discussed in device status group (Next wednesday 19th at 11h CEST → LINK) ACTION: Open an issue within DeviceStatus subproject to check overlaps. → |
There should be different APIs (device Status and shutdown services) Number verification doesn t fit either as it is more based in subscription (name change?) Overlap with Tenure and number recycling ACTION: Owner to check Overlap with Tenure and number recycling | |||

Telefonica | New API Proposal: Telco Scoring The API template is available #42 Input from OGW Drop 4 | Presented slides: API-Overview-TelcoScore.pptx The API seems to not fit within KYC and new sg should be created. Support is required, feel free Scoring can be calculated both with any user registered in the telco. Less information means less scoring, Algorithm may be different for each of the implementators (MNO) ACTION: Toshi validate if This APImay fit within KYC API familiy → The issue was rised but still under discussion →(Toshi's proposal 20240627) In API Backlog 20240613 meeting, Jorge TEF and Toshi KDDI agreed that the API does not fit within the existing KYC-SP. Then, in KYC-SP 20240625 meeting, that was shared within KYC-SP and there was no objection. Closed. |
ACTION: Jorge Reach out to Nick by email
Telefonica | Scope Enhancement: KYC-Match API -Scoring logic The API template is available #46 | This is just an enhancement of the current API. Looks fine as an Enhancement.

KDDI | Number Recycling The API template is available 55 | Difference with shutdown service? Check the differences. Shutdown service is not linked to a contract Probable comon scopes with shutdown service + Number reciclyng + Tenure For Tenure two APIs have been proposed and differ from this ones (tenure is more refered the client itself rather than devices or mSISDNS) ACTION: Show the differences/similarities in the next meeting (prepare a slide or two) Check whether Tenure + Shutdown service + Number recycling fit in KYC (parts involved align internally) Proposal is to include the API in the same API but separate repos Move to TSC after discussion of the rest of APIS | |
