Dear all, For the avoidance of doubt, our PO has sent us the attached mail (with copy to the official mailbox of the project) indicating that he agrees with the PMs reallocation to be implemented in the next amendment of the DoW (amendment 4).

I don't care that much about shifting PMs and who gets what. Here the consortium has apparently bound itself to all kind of weird pre-existing agreements anyway, not using the flexibility offered by the grant agreement. Having said that, the thing to avoid is that industry withdraws and academia gets more funding. That is the trend here, with industry reducing its involvement with 640k and academia/research institutes increasing with 640k. I understand there is no choice because industry is not willing/able to do more, but it is against the spirit of the industry leadership in FI-WARE/FI-PPP. And frankly, it looks very bad on EU industry. Please note that I care more about changes in the DoW wrt tasks/activities to be carried out. Large changes in efforts without any change in the task description (e.g. the iMinds addition in WP3) cannot be correct. Then, what is most important is what happens with the contributions from the withdrawing partners, NSN-FI and EAB. What happens with Ericsson's Service Composition - Ericsson Composition Engine (ECE) What happens with Ericsson's Gateway Device Management GE - Ericsson IoT Gateway In a previous email (19 Nov 2012), you concluded (for the ECE): "So the problem here is not about sustainability beyond the FI-PPP (which Ericsson states would be provided) but inside the FI-PPP ..." Will they remain available to FI-WARE? Under what conditions? If nothing remains available, what does that mean for their contribution to FI-WARE? Will these be replaced? Same questions for NSN-FI. I understand they were in charge of the GE "Backend Device Management"?? And they contributed an asset called "Cumulocity". So same questions as above. Specific questions: 1) What does the underlined text mean in the sentence "Withdrawal of Ericsson from WP5. EAB has 20 PM in DoW and it has declared 3,34 PM until M18, so it transfers 16 PM to FRAUNHOFER because they have to assume Advanced Connectivity GEs with ETSI-M2M interface and will be involeved in the project at the beginning of April 2013!" 2) What does the following sentence mean? "TRDF-P finished at 31-12-2012. People moved to TRDF." TRDP is no longer a third party? Finally, are you going to ask an amendment for the Electronic-only signature and transmission of Form C (see attachment)? Best regards, Arian. PS. I am kind-of allergic to statements like your "No early response...", knowing that the only deadlines I'm bound to are the ones in the grant agreement… -----Original Message----- From: Juanjo Hierro [mailto:jhierro at tid.es] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2013 9:06 AM To: ZWEGERS Arian (CNECT) Cc: CNECT-ICT-285248; subsidies at tid.es<mailto:subsidies at tid.es>; Miguel Carrillo; Javier de Pedro Sanchez Subject: VERY IMPORTANT: amendment 4 of the FI-WARE DoW dealing with PMs reallocation Dear Arian, Once we have finalized amendment 3 of our DoW, we should open a new amendment dealing with fixing all PMs reallocation that were pending (some of which pending since July last year). As already announced in our mail on January 20th this year, the situation is critical regarding some of these PMs reallocation, particularly dealing with the ability to handle withdrawal of several partners. All this PMs reallocation have been agreed among the partners at PCC (Project Coordination Committee), WPLs/WPAs and General Assembly level. We believe that is is critical to close this amendment 4 before end of April as to allow a reporting of costs for the 2nd period that is aligned with an approved DoW. Please find enclosed a spreadsheet which summarizes the changes already implemented in amendment 3 as well as changes proposed in amendment 4. Changes being proposed for amendment 4 are summarized in the sheet titled "Changes (amendment 4)". There is a final picture of PMs allocation to tasks for each WP as well as impact in figures (overall funding is kept the same). Consumption of allocated PMs have taken place since start of the 2nd reporting period and, in the case of partners withdrawing the consortium, since a decision was taken regarding what partner was going to take over their responsibilities. We will soon send you a draft of the DoW that will incorporate the changes summarized here. We will kindly ask you to send a response to this mail with your agreement to the proposed PMs reallocation in advance to approval of the DoW amendment itself which may take more time. That would give the existing partners, overall those taking the responsibility to take over the tasks from withdrawing partners, the necessary security to keep their investments they have been making so far. No early response will be taken as acknowledge and acceptance of this proposed PMs reallocation. We will rather appreciate your help in moving this forward.
