Hi Juanjo, all,

 

Thanks for the next version of the Governance model.

 

Find below few comments from Atos:

 

·         I understand this is a mistake, but the descriptions of the Dissemination manager and the Business impact manager are blurred. In fact they both mention responsibilities such as "market analysis, business models, sustainability issues", or  "liaison with other initiatives such as ICT Labs, Smart cities, etc". If the two roles are merged, as the documents points out (to be decided by the SB, then it makes sense that both descriptions are merged too; if that doesn't happen, then I do not think that mixing the two things makes sense). Besides that I would say that the two roles require different profiles.

 

·         Again, in the case of these two roles the document says that they will be funded by CONCORD. Does it mean that they will also be selected/decided by CONCORD?

o    In the case of the standardization WG it is explicitly said that the leader of this WG will be assigned by the SB

o    In the case of the Policy and Regulation WG it is explicitly said that the leader of the WG will be assigned by the SB

o    However, in the case of Communication and Dissemination WG and Business Impact and Exploitation WG this is not said as such. Instead, it is said: "The Dissemination Manager is the leader of this Working Group." and "The Business Impact Manager is the leader of this Working Group".

 

Besides these comments, let me add some additional aspects already highlighted by our legal department. I think the new version of the document complies with it, but just as reminder.

 

·         Impact of the EIB decisions will be evaluated at the level of each project if there is an impact on the DoW and decisions will be taken by them following the principle of programme spirit and collaboration, but always respecting the clauses set by the collaboration agreement:

§  Decisions with impact on the work plan committed to in Annex 1 of a Grant Agreement of an ongoing FII Project must be confirmed by the Parties of the affected FII Project and shall, for the sake of clarity, have no binding effects on such FII Project without such confirmation

§  "For the sake of clarity, none of the bodies described (...) shall have the right or authority to take decisions which are binding on any single FII Project"

 

Can you provide some guidance on the deadlines for the Governance model? When should it be agreed by all parties?

Hi all,

  Please find enclosed latest version of the FI-PPP governance model.

  We haven't had time to review it ourselves.   I'm just passing it to you.

  Best regards,

Hi all,

 

Attached is revision 3 of the governance model where I have added the updates and comments received - or replied directly if your suggestions could not be accommodated.

 

We seem to have consensus that the model is possible through elaborating our shared understanding of the Advisory function and the chair roles through SB decisions.  This roles and activities are in line with the intentions of the collaboration agreement and can be viewed as refinements and improvements of the processes described.   

 

The major changes in revision 3 are: 

* update of the description of the standardisation working group,  - removal of alignment activities that overlapped with the AB. 

* Programme chair or AB chair as mediator for conflict in the first instance, but open to invoke a professional mediator (as mentioned in the Collaboration agreement) if this does not resolve the problem. 

* 2 representatives of each project in the Steering board

 

There were comments about the voting rights in the SB for programme officers, and others attending the meeting, possibly confusing the project based nature of the steering function.  

To avoid any confusion, we should ensure that FI-PPP SB decisions are only based on the collated project positions, as prepared by the project co-ordinators.  

I have not put any text on voting in this model to avoid creating any conflicts or confusion here.

 

I believe, based on an audio conference Ilkka and I had with the commission this morning, that we can get the commission to accept this version but we need to be clear that you will accept this version too.

 

The next action we would like to kick off is a short discussion, as raised by Sjaak, on what level of resources are actually needed for programme level activities - we can circulate a proposal  on this this afternoon to gather our ideas and seek consensus.

 

SO ACTION FOR PROJECT LEADERS - please confirm if the version is acceptable to you for inclusion in the DoW.

 

Many thanks,

 

David
