+Hello OpenStackers,
+
+I write this to submit my candidacy for Neutron PTL during the Train cycle.
+I have had a blast being the project's PTL for the past three cycles. After
+everything is said and done, the most rewarding part of this job is to get to
+work with an amazing group of top notch software engineers from around the
+World. I will be grateful forever for everything that you all have taught me.
+So I humbly ask for another chance to be trained during Train.
+
+We had a successful Stein cycle, delivering on most of the goals we set for
+ourselves in Denver:
+
+* Delivered most of the implementation of bandwidth based scheduling, that
+  enables Neutron and Nova to guarantee network bandwidth to instances based
+  on QoS policies.
+* To better serve edge computing use cases, we partnered with the StarlingX
+  team to implement management of network segments ranges dynamically through a
+  new API extension.
+* Extended Neutron QoS to support L3 router gateway IPs.
+* Improved the performance of port creation in bulk to better support
+  containers use cases.
+* Improved the security groups implementation by optimizing the performance of
+  rules creation and making security groups shareable with the RBAC mechanism.
+* We created the os-ken project, OpenStack community fork of the Ryu library,
+  which will not be supported by its original implementor anymore. os-ken is
+  now maintained by the Neutron project team.
+* We continued our efforts of de-coupling common functionality from the Neutron
+  repository and moving it to neutron-lib.
+* We worked hard on past and present community goals, so at the end of Stein
+  Neutron will be completely caught up.
+* We implemented a successful mentoring program for prospective core reviewers.
+  This enabled us to add three new members to the Neutron team: Nate Johnston,
+  Hongbin Lu and Liu Yulong. We also added Bernard Cafarelli, Ryan Tidwell and
+  Manuel Buil as stable branches, BGP Dynamic Routing and networking-sfc core
+  reviewers, respectively.
+
+Moving forward, these are some of the goals that I propose for the team during
+the Train cycle:
+
+* Improve the usability of routed networks by allowing more that one segment
+  per network per compute host. This will enable the scaling up of deployments
+  without being constrained by subnet IP address ranges.
+* Add the capabillity to tag ports during bulk creation, to better support
+  containers use cases.
+* Actively continue our collaboration with the StarlingX team to identify and
+  implement better support for edge computing use cases.
+* Continue the implementation of smart NICs support.
+* During Stein, we formed a performance sub-team with the aim of improving
+  Neutron's scalability. We will bring this effort to fruition by identifying
+  and implementing areas of improvement based on the characterization work we
+  are doing with osprofiler and the EnOS (Experimental eNvironment for
+  OpenStack) team.
+* We will continue our efforts of de-coupling common functionality from the
+  Neutron repository and moving it to neutron-lib.
+* I see myself, with the support of my current employer, actively involved in
+  the project and the community for many cycles in the future. I think, though,
+  that we are getting to a point where it is healthy to pass the baton to a new
+  leader. To that end, I will actively encourage team members to step up to the
+  plate in the next cycle. I will support and help propective candidates every
+  step of the way.
+
+Thank you for your consideration and for taking the time to read this
+
+Miguel Lavalle (mlavalle)
