bis. 1. The Committee shall set up a Bureau, whose members shall be the Chair, the two Vice-Chairs and the previous Chair.
2. The Bureau shall meet at the request of the Chair. It shall be responsible for taking administrative and organisational decisions between meetings. The Secretariat will distribute the meeting reports to Committee members.
bis. After the analysis of alternative solutions for the use of OpenVirtex, which imposes the use of an additional and external software component between the Infrastructure Controller and the physical network, the design of the Virtual Infrastructure Manager software has changed in order to enable a better integration with OpenDaylight. In particular the Virtual Infrastructure Manager will be implemented as an extension of the Virtual Tenant Network (VTN) application, which is an OpenDaylight project, and will be improved to support the virtualization of optical switches. The main advantages of this choice are related to the simplification of the whole architecture, the more mature integration with Neutron and OpenStack that is offered by the VTN application and the fact that VTN supports both OpenFlow v1.0 and v1.3 through its integration with OpenDaylight. Both solutions would require the OCS extensions defined for the OpenFlow v1.0 in support of optical devices, but OpenVirtex would need additional extensions to support OpenFlow v1.3 to manage TUe’s electronic switches. This choice does not impact the specification of the north-bound APIs of the service that are documented above.

CONDITIONAL CAPITAL FOR OPTION AND/OR CONVERTIBLE LOANS The share capital of the company shall be increased by a maximum of CHF 3,800,000 (three million eight hundred thousand Swiss francs) through the issue of 152,000 (one hundred and fifty-two thousand) bearer "B" shares with a par value of CHF 25 (twenty-five Swiss francs) each, to be fully paid up by the exercise of the option and/or conversion rights granted in connection with loans issued by companies of the Serono group.
