Dear Juanjo, dear all,

I completely agree with your position and also share the same view on this
as Nuria.

Best regards,
Javier

> Dear all,
>
>   Starting at the NetFutures event, a number of meetings and discussions
> have been running with representatives of the Connecting European Facility
> (CEF):
>
> http://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/connecting-europe-facility
>
>
>   CEF is targeted to create and support Digital Service Infrastructures
> (DSIs) and common building (software) blocks which are intended to be used
> as technology foundation for digital services that are cross-borders.   *The
> CEF programme is considered a rather strategic programme within the EC and
> one of the pillars over which the new Digital Single Market plan will be
> established*.   Currently, the following common building blocks have been
> created:
>
> https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/community/cef/og_page/catalogue-building-blocks
>
>
>   Interestingly, *people in charge of the CEF programme have found
> relevant that some of these building blocks be promoted through the FIWARE
> programme*.  *For this purpose, they have proposed to a) create a sandbox
> experimental environment on the FIWARE Lab for some of the existing CEF
> common building blocks, concretely eDelivery and b) propose some of the CEF
> common building blocks for adoption as FIWARE GEs, concretely eID (digital
> identity) and eDelivery*.
>
>   Regarding point a), there is no reason to object since this wouldn't
> mean anything different than creating a Community User account, with the
> necessary resources booked for creating the sandbox environment, which
> shouldn't be that high.   Therefore, we have given them the instructions,
> to apply and get the necessary resources.
>
>   Point b) is the more strategic movement.   As mentioned, CEF is a rather
> strategic programme within the EC.   Therefore, *their proposal to
> advertise and promote usage CEF common building blocks through the FIWARE
> community means quite an important endorsement by the EC recognizing the
> relevance of FIWARE*.   Bear in mind that CEF common building blocks are
> recommended for the development of digital services cross-borders and they
> are somehow mandatory for these kind of services when implemented by Public
> Administrations in the Member States.   Just this fact means that FIWARE
> will be in front of all Public Administrators.   On the other hand, the
> fact that CEF common building blocks are implemented as open source and
> there will be funding for the maintenance and support over time gives
> response to the requirement about sustainability of FIWARE GEs.   Last but
> not least, after some analysis we have run ourselves at Telefónica, we can
> state that both the eID and the eDelivery CEF common building blocks are
> compatible with the FIWARE Reference Architecture and, in fact,
> complementary to the existing set of FIWARE GEs.  In the case of the eID
> (digital identity) building block, we believe it fits perfectly well with
> the IdM and Access Control framework but of course a more detailed analysis
> would require to setup a Task Force within the Security chapter.
>
>   *The EC has asked us for the fast-track adoption of the eDelivery and
> eID CEF common building blocks as FIWARE GEs* and this would be a
> strategic move I would support and highly recommend.  This would mean
> incorporating them in the catalogue of FIWARE GEs without the need to let
> them go through the incubation process.   Of course, this would mean asking
> the EC to implement what is needed for the imported CEF common building
> blocks to comply with common practices, documentation, etc we require from
> any FIWARE GE.  eDelivery would be the first CEF common building block to
> be imported and it would be imported as part of the Context/Data Management
> chapter through a dedicated Task Force.   eID may come afterwards and it
> would be imported as part of the Security chapter, subject to the analysis
> of a Task Force to be created for this purpose.
>
>   For this purpose, *I will ask for a decision in the upcoming FIWARE
> chapter/wg leaders follow-up confcall that will take place on June 8,
> 14:30-16:30*.   FIWARE chapter architects are welcome to attend and
> provide views from a technical point of view as well as participate in the
> decision.    Eventually, we may run a voting at the meeting, so please
> define a proxy if you have some position on the matter and cannot attend.
>
>   In the meantime, I suggest that we exchange comments and initiate the
> discussion through the lists this mail has been sent through.
