>> Dear all,

>>    - Global Administrative/Strategic Coordination Activities: these map

>>
>>   All this is explained in detail in the email sent to Arian that I would

>>
>>    1. Approving major technical decisions and the definition of the

>>    with the corresponding WPLs;

>>    5. making proposals to the GA about Defaults in obligations by any
>>    Party so that the GA can take an informed decision;
>>    6. proposing to the General Assembly the plan for using and
>>    disseminating the Foreground in accordance with the CA, including proposals
>>    for IPR development;
>>    7. consideration of input from other PPP projects (CSA, UA) and
>>    decision on implementation. It is recognized that input from the UA is
>>    crucial for the technical work and every effort should be made to accept
>>    those proposals. In the rare special cases when no clear technical decision
>>    at the Architecture Board is achieved, the GA will re-consider those
>>    special cases with due regard to the PPP programme’s overall success.
>>    8. proposing to the GA procedures and tools for the marking and

>>    9. generating, updating and distributing to the Parties, a schedule
>>    of proposed meetings of committees of standards organisations relevant for
>>    the potential submission of Foreground as standards proposals.
>>
>>
>>   Besides, it is also mentioned in the DoW that the PCC holds two type of
>> meetings:
>>
>>    - Global coordination meetings, to consider general project aspects.
>>    - Specific meetings to follow-up progress of a specific WP. Those
>>    meetings will not require the presence of the full PCC but will be attended
>>    by the WPL and those people designated by the WPL.
>>
>>
>>   The way in which all this is implemented in FI-WARE is that Global
>> Coordination meetings are splitted in two:
>>
>>    - Global technical coordination meetings devoted to follow-up
>>    technical process of the whole FI-WARE project systematically take place
>>    every week or every two-weeks depending of the period.   Since more or less
>>    May, we are meeting every week.   These meetings involve the WPLs and WPAs
>>    of every WP and there, we take care of points 1, 2, 3, 7 and 9 of the list
>>    above.   Also Axel Fasse attends these meetings despite he is not a WPL as
>>    such (Uwe Riss is the WPL of WP3).  This is because his role supporting
>>    overall coordination.
>>    - Global administrative/strategic coordination meetings take place
>>    whenever this is required.   However experience demonstrates that there is
>>    no more than one month and half time between two consecutive meetings,
>>    sometimes several in one month.    We take care of points 4, 5, 6 and 8 of
>>    the list above.   These meetings also involve the WPLs of every WP, despite
>>    in this case we agreed that it would be companies leading a WP, instead of
>>    the WPL who attend these meetings.   This was to allow that a more senior
>>    executive participates instead of the WPL himself.   As an example, Axel
>>    Fasse from SAP, Yaron Wolfsthal from IBM or Nuria de Lama from ATOS attend
>>    this meeting (though Alex Glikson, WPL of Cloud uses to attend as well
>>    these meetings).
>>
>>
>>   Besides, specific meetings are derived from Global Technical

>>
>>    - meetings to deal with a specific technical issue (e.g., how to
>>    coordinate definition of NGSI-related issues)
>>    - meetings to deal with specific coordination of some project
>>    activity (e.g., meeting to coordinate/follow-up delivery of some concrete
>>    deliverables)
>>    - meetings to deal with some specific administrative/strategic
>>    coordination activity (e.g., reaching consensus about a single FI-WARE
>>    Legal Notice for FI-WARE Open Specifications)
>>
>>
>>    Communication regarding the two types of Global Coordination meetings
>> take place through different mailing lists because people are not the same
>> (although many of them are in both).   While communication regarding Global
>> Technical Coordination flows through the ordinary WPLs and WPAs mailing
>> lists, i.e., fiware-wpl and fiware-wpa mailing lists, communication
>> regarding Global Administrative/Strategic Coordination flows through a

>> Technical Coordination meetings, we have decided to send minutes directly
>> to the consortia the day after each of the joint WPLs/WPAs meeting to
>> accelerate communication and stimulate awareness about APs taken.
>>
>>
>>   Some of these specific meetings become permanent and lead to creation
>> of a specific mailing list where discussion takes place at regular

>> discussion of NGSI-related topics, relevant to several WPs)
>>
>>   Besides this, each WP has a weekly meeting and I attend some of them to
