>> *recommendation #2 *to update the catalogue to maintain a clear and

>> catalogue is not only incomplete, but makes it very difficult to clearly
>> associate GEs with their implementations. It must be easy to find

>> specific implementation is discontinued, clearly state so.

>> *Summary Recommendation #2: *Elaborate the catalogue to allow

>>
>>
>>
>>                 *Comment: To allow a purposeful search in the catalogue,
>> the catalogue as a tool lacks a more elaborated search function(and also
>> fields/tags in the GEi templates which can be filled with purposeful text

>> the core functionality (retrieval of network information) can be  easily
>> found when playing with the existing catalogue search function. Basically,
>> this holds also for the other NetIC GEis.*

>>
>> *recommendation #3 *to clarify the “impact” from software usage for each
>> GEI. This means in particular that the requirements, the impact from
>> installation on the infrastructure and the legal setup of the dependencies
>> is made clear. Keep in mind that in a commercial setting, all concerns

>> licenses must be defined, the hardware and software requirements must be
>> clarified (ideally for different usage scenarios, considering scope), the
>> conflicts with typical other setups must be elaborated etc.

>> *Summary Recommendation #3: *Clarify the consequences from installation

>> implications from dependencies (licenses etc.)
>>
>>
>>
>>                 *Comment: In my eyes, the installation and
>> administration guide contains all technical  information needed to install
>> the Altoclient GEi. What concerns the ‘economic and legalistic issues’: on
>> the one hand, the terms and conditions are predefined by FIWARE to at least
>> 90%, so any critics on their usefulness should be sent to TID (or who did
>> this?). On the other hand: it is ‘worldly innocent’, if a reviewer expects
