If this is consolidated it will be a great achievement!!! I am not talking about the initiative by a unit or a directorate, but a decision at the level of the whole DG CONNECT :). I don't believe this is going to be exactly like you mention, but I believe that we will actually see more and more the EC performing steps where they will show a commitment with FIWARE way beyond the commitment they have shown in adopting results coming from other funded projects. This is an example of how we are raising a great expectation but, therefore, we have to seriously take the responsibility of managing the risks that some partners ruins the work of the whole because their lack of commitment and low performance. We can celebrate that something is actually changing, but we shouldn't miss more than 2 minutes to get back to work and deal with all the stuff we need to deal with to be at the point where we can argue that we actually deserve this and more commitment from the EC or public authorities. Please read the email I have sent recently on the matter.

It is extremely important. We are facing a challenging and yet realistic scenario where we have the opportunity to make a difference in the landscape of the technological offer on the internet. The challenge we have ahead demands tight risk control and undertaking serious corrective action when needed. The only way to do so is by identifying and monitoring the risks, making sure that particular risk occurrences or the lack of commitment of a given partner do not hinder the whole of our efforts. There are many types of risks, some are high level, strategic, etc. and a full Risk Management Plan requires a long consultancy exercise. For the time being we need to start and we will go directly the most urgent part: our day by day work in the project. We are keeping a log of events that could be positive or negative. Based on scores, a GE owner or the lead/architect/group leader will have a "karma" that expresses the situation and performance in relation with the risks. Please note that there is a direct link between the "empowerment" of the GE owners with the karma status. Those with a good performance will remain trusted and free to act autonomously whereas those with a bad "karma" will be monitored and subject to reviews. Eventually, more serious decisions will be taken. As an example, it doesn't make sense that someone leads or play the role of architect in a group if his/her performance has proven to be rather bad during a long period, so better to run an election of a new lead/architect. Besides, there is no reason to accept reported costs in FI-Core about an activity as chapter/wg leader or chapter/architect if the appointed person doesn't work. This is the way to let work those who are doing well while not impacting our image because of those who are doing not so well. As many of you know, we will soon face the transition to an open source community, so we need to make sure that chapter/wg leaders and architects are there because they deserve it, showing their everyday commitment, not just because there was a contract that established so. This would not be credible at the eyes of the wide community of developers whom we need to convince FIWARE will actually transition from a EU funded FP7 project to an open source community. This process will also apply to assessment of TID coordination responsibilities, of course. Here, any of the chapter/wg leaders and chapter architects will be entitled to ask for lowering or increasing the karma of any person involved in coordination activities from TID whenever (s)he beleives it would be fair and there are no disagreements from the rest of chapter/wg leaders and chapter architects. We will pivot around these (mostly) publicly available resources for Risk Monitoring: * [1] Initial Risk assessment table - it focuses on day by day aspects, mostly practical and mundane * [2] Dissemination events log - managed by Nuria, it will record the events where the partners represent us actively (actively is not just traveling and sitting there for 5 hours). This will ensure a balanced contribution from all those involved in these tasks * [3] GEri karma - metrics of the performance of individual GEris * [4] Leader's karma - metrics of the performance of the coordination layer. It will be highly related to the next item on this list. * [5] Help Desk tracker - it collects all the requests from the lists referred from http://www.fi-ware.org/contact-us/. The degree of response (or neglection) of the issues here will motivate positive or negative scores. * [6] Channel contacts - people who are in charge of the mailing lists that create tickets on [5] * [7] Trackers in general: pending actions from coordination meetings, backlog, etc. are stored in the JIRA trackers per chapter. Also , there is one tracker for coordination. These will be monitored and will motivate good or bad karma points. * [8] Attendance to meetings: we see as a serious risk the poor adherence of some coordinators to the meetings schedule (chapter leaders and architects follow-up confcalls, for example). This has an impact on the chapters under their scope. As it is now, for example, the two leaders from Orange (Thierry and Joel) would get really negative karma whereas IBM, TID or CREATE-NET would get a positive mark. The data now are demo data to show how the tables work but we will feed them with actual data shortly. The threshold scores and general parameters are still provisional but we hope that not much tweaking will be needed. We will consider future improvements to ensure that the risk management methodology remains productive and fair. We will explain this in detail in the confcall with the chapter/wg leaders (hopefully, with all leaders present) scheduled for December 15, from 14:30 to 16:30. Of course, chapter architects are also welcome to attend. Then, this will be communicated to the rest of the consortia.
