Introduction

As of this writing (March, 2023), we are in the middle of the London release.  After London, we have two approved release names remaining:  Montreal, and New Delhi. That means that by this time next year, we will be out of approved names.  Therefore, now seems to be a good time to get going with some new names.

Proposal

We will seek to identify four new approved release names.  This will provide ONAP with approved release names through mid-2026 (assuming that we continue with a 6-month cadence).  We will likely need to repeat this process again in mid-2025.

Plan

1. Set up wiki tables for each of the four release names (i.e., O, P, Q, R).  
2. Seed the tables with names, then ask the community to nominate additional names. Set a date for the nomination period to end.
3. Create a surveymonkey poll with a question (stacked rank) for each of the 4 release names.
4. Send the poll to the ONAP community (PTL, TSC, and release lists). Set a date to end the poll.
5. Submit the 4 selected release names to the MAC for review and approval.
