[Fiware-ngsi] Regarding NGSIv2 - Strategic Concerns

[Ernoe Kovacs]

Dear NGSI community,

Following up on our discussion in the telco last Wednesday, NEC confirms to support adaption of NGSI into a more attractive version 2,
because it is vital to the success of a scalable non-proprietary FIWARE global platform.

Regarding our technical concerns with the current draft, we support creation of specs and Release Notes for a NGSIv2, as a necessary tool
for active co-development within the FIWARE community. NEC commits to providing text/issues/use-cases/proposed-solutions for the Release Notes.

NEC additionally requests that the following strategic concerns be answered, presumably by decisions at Foundation (or Architecture Board) level:
a) Which components/enablers will be affected by the proposed v2 changes?
b) Do the relevant Partners agree to change the code aspects needed
     by their components to show interworking with the proposed NGSIv2
     within the lifetime of the current project (about 3 months) ?
     If not, how will FIWARE succeed at the Final Review if some partners have
     changed and others have not, leaving the platform in disorder?
     Alternatively, will FIWARE Partners apply for an extension of time (same funding) ?
c) If Partners agree in principle within (b), when will the decision be ratified at the
     level of the Architecture Board (or higher)?

Until final decision of FIWARE in  above, the specifications and Release Notes should be labelled "Candidate Release v2"

Kind regards

-          Ernoe & the NEC team
