https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dQOzZustI2mkYr_omtiqu3FqUvoqLgaCp7nbRj4ZJyw/edit

(NM: Network Management)

* Discussion on the scope: 
** overall agreement on what has been proposed in the document.
** the scope should also reflect that AI may change the way we perform network management (so new NM problems can emerge thanks to AI)
** AI enables new network management --> towards configuration-less networking
** AI can be seen as a new enabler for network management (need for such example)

* Mapping NM/AI
** Characterize AI algorithms with their attributes
** Identify which AI attribute can be useful for NM problems

* Challenge description
** AI brings new solution enablers but AI is not easy to apply (how to plug AI to NM problems)
** quantification of AI: value of AI vs the cost to use it?
** guidelines for challenge description: existing one must be reviewed

* document in github in a draft format
* end of January/Feb meeting
