2.1 Introduction
----------------
As an open-source community organization, CNTT has developed the
following process to ensure delivery on the CNTT objectives. This
process has several goals. First, to inform new participants about the
background and overview of this open-source initiative. Second, to
communicate the organizational and legal structures under which the
community operates. And third, to help new participants to quickly
become fully engaged in the CNTT work and to be contributing effectively
to the work streams they are interested in.

2.2 Request Onboarding Info Packet
----------------------------------
[Sample Welcome Message Here] Welcome to the CNTT group –
It is wonderful that you, [Company and person] have decided to join in
the effort to make building the infrastructure to support Telecom
workloads more robust and standardized. We believe that these efforts
will benefit not only the operators, but also the vendors, and
ultimately all our customers as well, by hopefully making it easier and
simpler to incorporate new technology into our systems.
To get you started, I encourage you to go to our Getting Started page to
download a packet of information on how to get engaged at the working
level with CNTT. We also have materials in the Wiki and Github
repositories, so I hope that all this doesn’t overwhelm you. We are
excited that you have decided to become engaged with our community and
look forward to your active participation.
In addition to the many on-line work streams and workstream related
on-line meetings, we also have periodic face to face workshops, which we
find are invaluable for speeding the delivery of CNTT’s desired
outcomes. More details on upcoming events can be found on the CNTT wiki.
Feel free to reach out at any time, I am sure we will be more than happy
to answer any questions you might have. Welcome again and looking
forward to working with you.
- **Guide To Getting Started**

Onboarding starts as soon as you submit a request to join CNTT via
email to cntt-gov@lists.opnfv.org. You will receive additional
information such as links to the CNTT Getting Started wiki and
additional onboarding materials.
- **How long will it take to onboard?** The onboarding process will
initially take approximately one hour.
- **What will I learn during the onboarding process?** There will be
an overview of the CNTT mission and goals, community
organisational structures and processes, as well as an
introduction to the technology development status and roadmaps.
Additionally, participant responsibilities and legal obligations
with be covered. Finally, you will be introduced to the support
and logistical information needed to participate fully in the CNTT
community.
- **What help will I get during the onboarding process?** Once you
submit a request to participate in the Task Force, new members are
supported by the CNTT onboarding team listed in your “Getting
Started” email. Any time during the onboarding process,
participants are welcome to reach out for any additional
assistance.
- **What happens once I get onboarded?** Once you have reviewed the
CNTT onboarding information and agree to the prerequisite terms
and agreements associated with participating and contributing to
the Task Force, then you have the opportunity to join any of the
work streams that you are interested in. For an initial period
after onboarding, you will be assigned a volunteer mentor from the
Task Force to help you get up to speed quickly.
