+Governance Approval and Service Distribution
+============================================
+
+Each ONAP platform operator will have a specific set of policies
+and procedures for approving Services and deploying them in the
+operator's ONAP environment. This outline describes the general
+flow of such procedures.
+
+**Goal:** Add all information required to create, instantiate, and
+manage a service.
+
+**Tools:** SDC
+
+**SDC user roles:** Governor, Ops

+
+Review a Service for Governance Approval
+----------------------------------------
+
+A member of the Governance Board performs a governance review of a
+certified service and its associated VFs, and then approves (or rejects)
+the artifacts for distribution.
+
+**Prerequisites:** Service is tested.
+
+**Steps**
+
+#. Sign in to SDC as a Governor.
+#. From the HOME page, click CATALOG and select a service that is ready
+   for governance review.
+#. Review the service and its associated resources.
+#. To view deployment artifacts:
+
+   #. Click *Composition* tab (left pane) and then click the Deployment
+      Artifact icon (right pane) to see the list of artifacts.
+   #. Click the download icon adjacent to an artifact to download and
+      view it.
+
+#. When the review is complete, click:
+
+   -  *Accept* if the service passes the governance review. The service is
+      marked Approved for Distribution.
+   -  *Reject* if the service fails the governance review. The service is
+      marked Rejected for Distribution.
+
+After a service receives governance approval, it moves into the Waiting
+to be Distributed section of the Operations Workspace (Ops role)
+
+Request Service Distribution
+----------------------------
+
+Request service distribution to populate all appropriate ONAP
+components with the resources and artifacts ssociated with the service and its
+VFs.
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+
+A service has received governance approval and is
+available in the Waiting to be Distributed section of the SDC Operations
+Workspace (under the Ops Role). For more information, see
+`Review a Service for Governance Approval`_.
+
+The steps shown here are generic; each service provider has a different,
+specific set of instructions. Contact your site IT support for the
+particulars.
+
+**Steps**
+
+#. Open at ticket request at your site
+#. Make a "DISTRIBUTION REQUEST"
+#. Provide the following information in your request:
+
+   -  Environment
+   -  Name of service to be distributed
+   -  Version number
+   -  [Optional] Additional information or instructions (provide special
+      instructions for the request)
+   -  Your user ID
+   -  [Optional] Alternate Contact user ID (provide an alternate contact
+      if the primary contact is unavailable)
+
+Distribute a Service
+--------------------
+
+**Prerequisites:** The service is approved.
+
+**Steps**
+
+
+#. Sign in to SDC as Ops.
+#. In the Active Projects pane (left pane) of the HOME page, select the
+   W*aiting For Distribution* check box.
+#. Select a service that is ready for distribution.
+#. Review the version history to verify that the correct version is
+   selected.
+#. In the header, click *Distribute*.
+
+   The service moves from the Ready For Distribution folder to the
+   Distributed Services folder.
+
+#. From the Workspace pane, click *Distributed Services*.
+   All distributed services display.
+#. Select the service distributed in step 5 and click *Monitor*.
+   The Distribution Report displays.
+#. In the Distribution Report, navigate to the Component ID for the
+   service and click the adjacent down arrow.
+   The report shows all components associated with the service and their
+   distribution statuses, such as DOWNLOAD_OK.
+#. Review the status of each component.
+
+Verify that the DCAE Blueprint is Deployed
+------------------------------------------
+
+The DCAE controller requires a blueprint (or guideline) to be available
+at the site on which the first VNF is deployed. This blueprint is a
+management workflow and configuration description for a given VNF, and
+it must be available after completing the service distribution process
+and before beginning the instantiation process.
