Brief summary of Topic Group meeting.

The Topic is related to Quality of Service and Quality of Experience, and we know that there are many parameters to be monitored (Technical KPIs and Service KPIs), and some are more relevant than others. In order to make this information collection possible, we need to ensure that we have the necessary tools in place (network management systems, service robots, probes, etc.
