Thank you Vincent for your feedback.
Your view on the creation of WGs is excellent , let's have the use of the
Faubourg Numerique experience , how do you have this "technology watch" on
what will be the next tech or concept to be in. This in order to
participate to the funded projects . In my opinion, and as I was
explaining in the MSC meeting, the projects need budgets.

So I will let you lead the fourth Group "Budget needed to create workgroups"

I will take care of the first group "How FIWARE iHubs can contribute to
develop the FIWARE ecosystem " . If any one else would like to take , i
will be more than happy :)

Who is ready to take the 2 others :
-  "Incomes and business models for the FIWARE iHubs" Irene ?
- "Use of MiMs for the citizen participations and contributions" Pierre ?

Please join groups so we can all present our proposition and suggestion at
th Global Summit

I will create share directory where we can start our work

Again , your suggestions please

BR
Ali.
