:Cole Shared some thoughts on the C&I initiative:
*This initiative is a top priority for OCP
*Certified & Ready levels of certification
**Certified is higher level - 
***Potentially bronze, silver, gold levels
**Ready is self testing with a lighter suite for testing

*Believes Common Criteria is a good structure/ entity to model after
**Commoncriteriamodelportal.org


*Any tools need to be open and available to all
*Facebook Lenora Enterprise Group approach (spelling may be incorrect)
*Likes the building block approach
**Start with hardware (Hardware Management, Basic Hardware Management)
**Move to OS (Red Hat)
**And beyond

*OpenCompute, being at the hardware layer, can be a lightning rod for interoperability across hardware, software, hybrid, etc.
*Will be attractive to all parties due to efficiency and optimization it can potentially drive around integrated certification which is challenging and resource intensive for all companies

:Matthew asked how can we leverage colleges for certification and to help write certification suites

*Team agreed
*Well include colleges
**UNH lab is one approach
**Could also take a more organic approach and seed several colleges with gear/ expertise/ problem to solve


:Goal for end of year

*C & I Charter
**We are building a platform
**Make sure it highlights plan to move up stack
**Funding can come from vendors/groups that put OCP logo on products
**Express intent to engage several colleges for organic growth
**Goto opencompute github to get charter format
**Pete Braddock will be able to help out the charter together
