>   Yesterday we sent the Activity Report to the EC.   Unfortunately, we
> were in a rush because delay from some partners giving their input to this
> report so, since we thought it was not going to be saleable to send it
> without giving POs and the reviewers at least two working days to read it,
> we decided to send it to them with a disclaimer about the report in
> resources consumption (see message below)
>
>   I believe that description of Activity itself is fine.   However, we
> would like you to check the resources consumption allocated by partners in
> your respective chapter teams.
>
>   You can find a table on page 64 which summarizes the PMs declared by
> each partner in your respective WP.   The "Real PM" is the amount of PMs
> each partner has reported to us they have consumed.   This is the data we
> would like you to check and then report to us whether you agree with it or
> not.    Note that we are reporting for the 6 first months of the project.
> It's true that you should not consider just the people you interact with,
> there might be a development team behind of course.    But you know better
> than us, based on actual contribution from every partner within your
> chapter, whether the amount of PMs being reported is fair or not.
>
>   The "Planned PM" in that spreadsheet is not a target value you should
> compare reported ("Real PM") against.   The values there correspond to
> values reported by the partners and we have found that some of them seem to
> have calculated them wrong.   Probably, you remember that we reached an
> agreement during proposal preparation regarding distribution of resources
> in technical WPs (WP3-WP10) along duration of the project.   That agreement
> meant that if a partner plans to allocate a stable team of X people to a
> particular WP, on average he will devote 50% of that team for the 9 first
> months (this typically in a rump, but 50% on average after all).    This
> means that, typically, partners should not have spent more than 10% of the
> PMs allocated to them in each WP, for the whole duration of the project
> (you can get the PMs allocated to each partner in your WP from the DoW).
> Of course, smalls deviation from that parameter may be reasonable, but
> relevant deviations worth taking a look.   Note that if some partners
> continue consuming PMs at the rate they have reported in this period, it
> may mean they plan to leave the project in the middle of it because they
> will run out of resources.
>
>   Miguel has already sent to some partners an email asking for rationale
> in those case where a significant deviation has been detected.   The WPL is
> copied in those cases.  Therefore, they are the cases that requires
> particular attention from you.   Of course, it would be nice that you
> review all the figures reported for your WP and tell us whether they sound
> reasonable or not.
>
>   It would be nice to get the most critical cases detected and solved for
> the review on Tuesday, so that we can present revised figures at the
> review.
