+Hi Everyone,
+
+I would like to announce my candidacy again for Tacker PTL role for
+Train cycle.
+
+I am Dharmendra Kushwaha known as dkushwaha on IRC, active member of
+Tacker community since Mitaka release. I run as Tacker PTL in Stein
+cycle.
+
+I would like to thanks all who supported Tacker with their contributions
+in Stein cycle. It is a great experience for me to working in Tacker
+project with very supportive contributors team.
+
+In Stein cycle we planned limited features level activities and more
+towards project stability and max test & code coverage things. We were
+able to deliver some rich features like VDU auto-healing and VNF resource
+reservation, and multiple other features & improvements with the help of
+great team support.
+
+Some of our planned activities are still in progress, and hope to complete
+them soon.
+My plan for Train cycle will be more towards:
+
+* Tacker CI/CD Improvement:
+    - In stein cycle we added large number of test unit cases, but still
+      we have to work in this area to get max coverage.
+    - Focus to introduce more functional and scenario tests.
+
+* Tacker stability & production ready:
+    - Focus to have more error-handling and significant logging.
+
+* More towards NFV-MANO rich features:
+    - Make Tacker more ESTI compatible.
+    - CSAR support.
+
+* More works in SFC area.
+
+* Enhancement on container based VNFs.
+
+* More physical gathering of Tacker team in OpenStack conferences.
+
+
