This API is very interesting and we are also discussing about it in GSMA OPAG. A first discussion in GSMA was about what is actually offered to the developer: a 3GPP Slice or a Communication Service? The feeling is that we are going to expose a Communication Service that can leverage on a 3GPP Network Slice or not, depending on the Networks underneath or by policies or other commercial aspects.

Thank you @FabrizioMoggio , I just saw your comment here.
I made some explanation for the purpose of this proposed API, please see my latest reply AT:
here - in the PR conversation

A developer may use this user-friendly API to book a network slice with expected service time period, expected service area, expected guaranteed numbers of terminals and expected SLA targets in advance (e.g. 2 hours or 2 weeks in advance) for some planned event like a live video streaming show scheduled in some place during some time period.

The Network slicing API allows Operators/CSPs to offer dedicated resources to different tenants (as B2B customers) via the Network slice as a Service. This is a kind of commodity and business monetization opportunities for operators to sell on-demand slice service to third-party tenants.

@chinaunicomyangfan @Kai-hw @DanXu-ChinaTelecom: The API proposal has been approved in the TSC meeting held in 18th Jan, with some activities for the APIBacklog WG to act upon -- minutes available here.

As for next steps:

1. [API owner, Supporting companies] Decide on Sub-Project name. Options:

• Network Slicing Booking
• Network Slicing Reservation

2. ** [API backlog chair]** To inform TSC about sub-project name via mail list.
3. [CAMARA admins] Create the subproject repository, following official nomination from TSC.

[Kai-hw]

Thanks @jordonezlucena for the information.

For the Sub-Project name, we prefer "Network Slicing Booking".

[jordonezlucena]

The new sub project is available: https://github.com/camaraproject/NetworkSliceBooking
Together with the mailing list: https://lists.camaraproject.org/g/sp-nsb

The issue can be closed. Please, continue work on the new sub-project.
