Other notes:

Keith Kidd (CAB chair) briefly introduced Network Test Automation Forum (NTAF) and its plans to the TesLA members. It was indicated that NTAF is in formative stages and TesLA will continue and coexist with NTAF for now. At some-point in the future, when NTAF is further along, TesLA standards will be proposed to NTAF for adoption. We do not have all the details on this but the plan will be along those lines.

One of the immediate next steps was a follow-up meeting of the members to discuss timelines and commitments towards starting to implement TesLA compliance for their products in the year 2010.
