dear jose,

i still see some problems in the current text:

1. about the eib
the sentence "Appointments will be coordinated by the programme chair
based on interest received by industrial actors within the FI-PPP" is
in contraddiction with what you said: or the eib is the driver or is
the pc. this sentence clear puts the composition of the eib under the
decision of the pc which we are absolutely against. i think this
should be done under the coordination of the ec.

2. about the pc
this sentence "The PC also acts as a “mediator” between two or more
partners in case of conflict, his advice shall be considered as
definitive" puts definitively the functioning of the full programme
under the pc. i think should revised and modified in something like
"the eib decide based on pc advise". please consider that if two
partners have disputes this my mostly mean business reasons that
affect the ful ppp staretgic functioning and this cannot be decided by
the pc.

3. about pcg and ag
i think under the current formulations there migth be sever conflicts
between the two bodies as duties are clearly overlapping.


4.
the dissemination manager is mentioned but not described properly

5. the eib cannot facilitated by the bm, but he/she must follow and
implement its recommendations. of course he/she participates to the
eib meetings.

ciao,
stefano

> We received yesterday the attached mail from the EC. They have provided,
> based on some of our comments, a new version of the governance document. It
> is (partially) based on some proposals and also on EC ideas.
>
>
>
> The changes proposed in this new version (attached to the mail) , as
> compared to the previous, can be summarized as follows
>
>
>
>
>
> • Strategic decisions and direction of the program are borne by the EIB
> (therefore by the companies). The Program Chairman (PC) acting on behalf of
> the EIB, responsible for such decisions are implemented
>
> • The EIB will consist of 15 large companies. It is unclear who decides
> which, although it appears that the EC will play a role in its composition.
>
> • Interestingly, the Program Chairman (PC) is elected by the "FI-PPP
> partners" and not by the EIB
>
> • The PCG (formerly SB)  does not make decisions that discusses how to
> coordinate the effective implementation of the decisions taken at the EIB.
> The PC controls (partly at least)  the PCG because it acts on behalf of the
> EIB.
>
> • The chief architect of FI-WARE, chairman of AG (formerly AB) happens to
> have greater decision-making on technical aspects: "The chairman of the AG
> decides in case of conflict."
>
> • The Technical Advisor disappears
>
> • The document make no reference to FI-WARE project as an example which has
> already provided its staff and resources to marketing issues. We need to
> clarify this, but it may be better not to make controversy now
>
> • They add the description of the "responsibilities" of a Project
> Coordinator and he/she is explicitly under control of the EIB
>
> • It strengthens the role of Business Manager (BM) when it previously said
> that would be decided later.
>

>
> In general, we (Telefonica) think we can live with the new proposal, subject
> to the discussions on Monday and your comments
