[Fiware-pcc] Comments to the Minutes of our PCC Call

[Fasse, Axel]

Dear Juanjo,



As mentioned during the call, I have some comments with respect to the minutes.



·         Status of deliverables due by end of June

--> The proposed way to ensure the delivery as foreseen in the DOW is not consistent with the existing legal framework agreed with the partners and the EU. Hence, there is no legal reason for the partners to follow the proposed process. Further, this will lead to discussions with the partners and their legal departments. To avoid these discussions, you might add a comment, that TID proposed this way for the future and will change the existing legal framework, esp. the CA accordingly. Please be aware, that this proposal needs to be agreed by all partners. I think you should find a proper solution - agreed by all partners - before starting the discussion with Arian and the EU. Please note, that the Coordinator does not decide about justification of the efforts of the partners, that was decided by the European Commission only.

·         Legal Aspects - Legal Notice of Open Specifications

--> I send out my comments about the proposed way to come to "one legal" notice within my mail to the PCC-List. So far as I can see, you did not follow or even included my proposal within the minutes. Beside this, the PCC cannot overrule the existing legal framework. Because of this, I would suggest again that your legal-expert provide a reviewed version of the proposal that includes the comments from all of your partners and restart the negotiations again.

·         * Legal Aspects - Rights to deploy and operate FI-WARE GEs on the FI-WARE Testbed

--> With respect to the Topic Red.es I made a concrete proposal how to proceed. So far as I know, nothing of that can be found in the Minutes. Please include my suggestions into the minutes and explain, why this proposal is not acceptable. Please note, that you cannot bind partner with a MOU between TID and Red.es to provide Software to Red.es.

·         * Legal Aspects - Rights to access the FI-WARE Open Lab

--> I proposed to finalize the legal framework that allows us to open the TestBed to external Partner (Open Innovation Lab) in order to mix this topic with the PPP TestBed Hosting at Red.es. The proposal should be agreed by the legal departments of you partners, before we start the discussion about this topic within the PCC. The PCC could make suggestions, but these suggestions are - so far as I know - legally not binding for the FI-WARE / PPP partners. Further, please bring together the legal contacts of the partners, so they can start the discussions about the topic in due time.



Because of the former discussions and mails, I don't think that it is possible to provide the minutes in the current version

>From my point of view it would be important to change the Minutes in a consistent way before we provide these minutes to all partners.





Best regards,

  Axel
