I think it is not realistic to close the process 31 August. We are in the middle of the vacation period and we cannot discuss the issue in such a sort time. I would kindly ask for a later deadline, September 15 could be more appropiate Best regards ... Jose Jimenez El 12/08/2011, a las 16:11, "Alfamicro" <mail at alfamicro.pt> escribi??: Dear FI PPP Steering Board member, As agreed at the previous Steering Board meeting held on July 21, Concord has finalized two documents about the FI PPP Advisory Board Roles and Responsibilities and the Members Profile (Please find attached the Advisory Board Member Profile, which integrates the Steering Board suggestions and should be used for your guidance only). A letter of invitation is to be sent to all those who are to be proposed and solicited for Advisory Board members candidates and has been drafted. Please find these documents in attachment. As a summary how we are going to proceed, I propose the following process: 1. The process will be done totally anew. 2. Please inform Jukka Mattila about the persons you want to propose for the Advisory Board. 3. We understand that each party who proposes a person to the Advisory Board candidate will ask his/her availability and consent. However, if instead there are reasonable grounds that Concord should solicit the person in question, we would be pleased to do that. Please inform us whether it is you or us who will contact the person, introduce the project and ask for the approval. 4. Please contact the candidate and send him/her the Candidacy Letter together with the document about Advisory Board role. Inform him/her about the FI PPP Project. 5. Inform Concord that he/she is your candidate for the Advisory Board, he/she has been told about the roles and functions of the Board, and that he/she accepts to be a candidate member of the Advisory Board. Please send the proposals to Jukka Mattila (jukka.mattila at aalto.fi) who will be maintaining a list of the candidates and administers the process. 6. The Advisory Board candidate nominations with the previously described background work should be done by the 31st of August (latest). Please remember that all material requiring a decision in the Steering Board must be send a fortnight before to all members of the Board. On behalf of the Concord team Best regards, ??lvaro de Oliveira, PhD Visiting Professor at Aalto University _______________________________________________ Sb mailing list Sb at fi-ppp.eu http://lists.fi-ppp.eu/mailman/listinfo/sb ________________________________ Este mensaje se dirige exclusivamente a su destinatario.

A draft rather close to the final version was already available on July 6th and we have submitted it to the EC on August 15th. According to the current draft of the CA (unfortunately, not yet signed) this deliverable can be published if there is no objection by any party after 20 days the document was ready. In addition, any objection could only apply to anything that was added from the draft available on July 6th. So unless I hear about any objection before Saturday September 3th, we will make it publicly available. Enclosed at the end of this mail you may find the text from the CA regulating publication of deliverables for your convenience. Best regards, -- Juanjo P.S.: Honestly speaking, a period of 20 days is painful for public deliverables other than the GE specifications. I will ask lawyers to reduce it to 10 days (at least for those cases where drafts have been circulated) 4.4.1 Publications No Party shall have the right to publish or allow the publishing of any data which constitutes Foreground, Sideground, Background or Confidential Information of another Party, even where such data is amalgamated with such first Party's Foreground, Sideground, Background or other information, document or material. Any such publication without such other Party's written agreement justifies, in addition to any other available remedies, objection to the publication by the Party concerned in accordance with GA Article II.30.3. a.- A copy of any draft of FIWARE Generic Enabler specifications shall be sent to the Project Coordinator and by the Project Coordinator to the Parties at the earliest time possible. Any of the Parties may object to the publication within 30 days after receipt of a copy of the proposed publication on any of the following grounds: (i) that they consider that the protection of the objecting Party's Foreground would be adversely affected by the proposed publication, (ii) that the proposed publication includes the Confidential Information of the objecting Party, or (iii) the publication of such information would be contrary to the commercial interests of the objecting Party. The proposed publication shall not take place until the expiry of the above period of 30 days. In the absence of any objection within the above mentioned period, it is deemed that the Parties agree to the proposed publication. Following the end of the above mentioned period, the Project Coordinator shall inform the Parties whether or not any objection has been received. Objections to publication of the final specifications of a Generic Enabler Specification will not apply if there were no objections to previously distributed drafts of FIWARE Generic Enabler Specifications, unless the changes between the draft and final version of the FIWARE Generic Enabler Specifications precisely provide the ground for the objection to publish the final version. In the event that an objection is raised on any of the above defined grounds within the above period of 30 days, the Party proposing the publication and the Party objecting shall seek in good faith to agree a solution on a timely basis, that will not exceed of 30 days, whereby such objection is resolved. In case that the objection raised affects the publication of the FIWARE Generic Enabler Specifications (as defined in this Consortium Agreement) if no solution is found within the term established in this paragraph, the parties will submit the controversy to the General Assembly, which decision will be final and binding and in accordance with the confidentiality provisions established in this Consortium Agreement.. b.- The same rules as in 4.4.1.(a) shall apply for any other proposed publication in connection with or relating to the Project, but for such publications a period of 20 days shall be applicable ________________________________ Este mensaje se dirige exclusivamente a su destinatario.

In this respect, the final clause c) in point 4.4.1 reads as follows: c.- The same rules as in 4.4.1.(a) shall apply for any proposed publication of the Public Deliverables of the Project, but for such publications a period of 10 working days shall be applicable. In case of publications in the web site (www.fi-ware.eu), the Board may decide to apply a shorter term, but not less than 5 working days. Based on it, we would be in the position to make the FI-WARE High-level Description publicly available on August 29th unless we receive any objection prior to August 27th.

We need that you send Jose Jimenez and me as well as to Pier Garino (for logistic reasons) the names of who will attend. Please try to do so filling the enclosed spreadsheet. The Passport Id or Identification Number is required in order to manage approval of access to TI facilities well in advance. Those who already had sent their confirmation to Pier, please send it again because this will make us easier to have a global spreadsheet with data of all attendees. Apologizes for the inconveniences this may cause. I remind all of you that this plenary meeting is going to be rather important. Chapter (Architecture WP) teams should make relevant progress regarding selection of assets to be considered as reference implementation of FI-WARE GEs, discussion about how they can be integrated as well as development of the corresponding Backlogs. I would say that attendance of WPLs, WPAs and people of the development teams linked to any contributed asset in your companies is a must. Please try to provide this info before Wednesday August 31 EOB. Best regards, -- Juanjo ________________________________ Este mensaje se dirige exclusivamente a su destinatario.
