 Summary
 +++++++
 ONAP provides a comprehensive platform for real-time, policy-driven
-orchestration and automation of physical and virtual network functions
-that will enable software, network, IT and cloud providers and developers
+service orchestration and automation including virtual network functions and applications
+instantiation and configuration, but also physical network functions configuration.
+ONAP will enable software, network, IT and cloud providers and developers
 to rapidly automate new services and support complete life cycle management.
 By unifying member resources, ONAP will accelerate the development of a
 vibrant ecosystem around a globally shared architecture and implementation
-for network automation–with an open standards focus–faster than any one
