The project's Antitrust Policy is linked from the LF and project websites. The policy is important when multiple companies, including potential industry competitors, are participating in meetings. Please review it, and if you have any questions, please contact your company’s legal counsel.

Issues and Pull Requests:
Issue #8: Scope of Dedicated Networks API version 0.1.0
Pull Request #34: Release R1.1 with API version v0.1.0-rc.1
Updated to address blocking comments
Issue #41: [General Description] Add references to 3GPP Release versions
New PR#51:
Issue #45: [Accesses API] Improve documentation on when accesses can be requested
New PR#53:
Issue #49: [Accesses API] Clarify why IP address is omitted from Device object
New PR#55:
Issue #48: [Profiles API] Improve description of QoS Profiles
Issue #46: [Accesses API] Improve error handling when access is requested at incorrect time
Issue #56: Remove oAuth2 security scheme
New PR #58: Providing device identifier with the access token
-----------
Issue #47: [Profiles API] NetworkProfileId is a string but format is not yet specified
Issue #44: [API Design Guideline] Potential usecases / reuse of DeviceResponse Object
Issue #43: [API Design Guideline] Does an API not implementing OIDC Discovery make it non-CAMARA compliant
The initial description is on 2-legged vs 3-legged, not about the OIDC Discovery protocol. Thus, the Issue seem to contain two sub-issues.
Issue #42: [API Design Guideline] "id" could be more descriptive in payload
to be brought to commonalities.
Issue #40: [Accesses API] POST operation is synchronous - may be there are use cases for async.
Issue #39: [Accesses API] x-device Header clarifications
to be brough to commonalities, since current commonalities allow using a header within GET operation or the body in a POST operation for providing sensitive information. The topic on 2-legged vs 3-legged access tokens is a separate issue.
Minutes
API Description in Wiki (cleaned up by Thorsten, required for M4 - to be published on CAMARA website)
QoS Booking API PR discussed: Seems like a discussion is required with the QoD group
New PRs created by Thorsten to address some of the newly created issues. Target to include them in release version for fall meta 25 (or in next rc).
Clarified reasoning for choosing specific 3gpp versions.
New PRs planned not to be merged until RC PR is merged
Update PR#51 to point to absolute URLs (esp. in YAML files) (@Thorsten Lohmar )
Comment from Rajat on copying schemas from other WGs, instead should be a reference to a schema elsewhere for correctness / completeness and to avoid overhead for maintenance.
Items to bring to commonalities
Guidelines on the device object (and if/how to introduce ip addresses)
Issue 42
Issue 39
