+Purpose
+=======
+- The purpose of these requirements is to accelerate adoption of xNF best
+  practices which will increase innovation, minimize customization needed to
+  onboard xNFs as well as reduce implementation complexity, time and cost
+  for all impacted stakeholders.
+- This initial release consolidates the requirements from Open-O and OpenECOMP
+  to provide common xNF requirements across the industry in order to drive
+  interoperability, simplify management, and reduce cost to build, deploy and
+  manage xNFs.
+- These requirements serve multiple purposes:
+    - Primarily it provides a detailed list of requirements for xNF
+      providers to meet to be compatible with ONAP; xNF providers will use
+      the xNF requirements to build VNFs/PNFs that are compatible with ONAP
+    - It can also serve as a list of requirements that service providers can
+      use in RFPs for selecting VNFs/PNFs
+    - It will also be used as a basis for testing and certification of
+      xNFs for compliance with ONAP; ONAP projects such as the VNF
+      Validation Project will uses these xNFs requirements to build test
+      cases to validate xNFs for compliance with ONAP.
