[I4trust] i4Trust - Status / Issues with legal check and urgent decision required

[Juanjo Hierro]

Dear Imran,

   Thanks for the update.

   Tuesday Jan 11 at 09:00 - 10:00 CET would collide with the weekly 
meeting of the FIWARE Foundation Board of Officers I have to join.   
Could it be Tuesday at 08:00am or at 10:00 (preferably at 08:00am)?

   I could also make it on Monday anytime before 10:30am CET or after 
17:30 CET.

   When you number the consortiums ... where do you get the number 
from?   I taking a look at the tabs "Selection Days" or "Eligibility 
check" in the spreadsheet summarizing 1st OC results 
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16WxYst8WL5Dl7Qii2QH4yQqAgAzDyFuXKFJpwz-GXek/edit?usp=sharing> 
but I guess none of the tabs are helping me to make such a mapping.  Do 
you perhaps refer to the table of section 3 in the i4Trust 1st Open Call 
Provisional Results Report 
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XYs7dT7A9ld3PbMHCR5mEWQFO9xX82hFsaBXL6ZS5_c/edit?usp=sharing>?  
I guess so but wanted to confirm.   BTW, I would suggest to add a tab 
"Provisional list" with the table in that section so that we have all 
information compiled in the spreadsheet.

   A couple of questions before the meeting:

 1. Are beneficiaries of these kind of FSTP programmes funded 100% or
    following the criteria of Horizon 2020 they will be funded 70% if
    they are companies and only 100% if academia or non-profit?
 2. Could services of the company in conflict within consortiums no. 11
    and 14 be hired by one or several SMEs of their respective
    consortiums? (even though I understand there would be the critical
    question that because they will be one partner less the funding they
    would receive overall would be lower).   I guess so the same way as
    for instance one of the SMEs may have defined budget allocated to
    hiring of AWS services where they would host their experiment, right?

   Cheers,

   Juanjo
