  • Why: The standards↔open-source convergence question (ETSI/NGMN/OCP vs. LFN projects) affects interoperability roadmaps in exactly the PM's domains — cloud-native networking, green/efficiency targets, and AI infrastructure. Knowing where this harmonization effort stands after five years is cheap but valuable context.
  • What: A moderated panel reviewing progress and upcoming requirements for harmonizing standards and open source across cloud-native, green, and AI themes (from abstract only).
  • How: Inter-organizational alignment between standards bodies (ETSI, NGMN) and open communities (OCP, LFN); no technical mechanism.
  • Where applicable: Ecosystem-wide but abstract-level; expect directional signals, not results.
