Key Points:

1. Market place FE/BE will handle all the Pre-onboarding functionality and provides  provides API and UI to VNF Vendors for package management.
2. Package can be a Heat file or CSAR package. Marketplace BE communicates with SDC to convert it to CSAR package.
3. Validation includes validating package structure, integrity and authenticity.
4. The functionality of managing license(atleast the user interface) should also be moved to market place as it logically fits there.(, Pre-Onboarding functionality).[This is a suggestion, please think about this] 5. 3. Lifecycle test and function test would be attempted in future releases.

64. Finally validated CSAR would be pushed to  SDC catalogue.
