dear all, here is an important yet constructive email from our po which i received just few moments before going on holiday. it will be discussed during tomorrow ebm. see you tomorrow! stefano ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: COSTANTINO Giorgio <Giorgio.COSTANTINO at ec.europa.eu> Date: Thu, 23 Sept 2021 at 18:07 Subject: Feedback on the written response to the assessment report To: Stefano De Panfilis <stefano.depanfilis at fiware.org> Dear Stefano, thanking again for your patience, please find here below the feedback form the monitors and myself to the written response addressing the remarks made in the review report. We’d like to thank the consortium for the effort done in addressing the recommendations. On some points there is perhaps a need to further refine/clarify. - The ultimate goal of 'TOKEN' is to develop an experimental ecosystem to enable the adoption of DistributedLedger Technologies and to prove its value, via highly replicable Use Cases, as driver for the transformation of public services towards an open and collaborative government model approach. Regarding the evaluation framework this means that it should go beyond evaluating the individual PUCs, and result in more or less generalisable findings that help public service suppliers to understand the benefits and drawbacks of DLT for public service transformation, exemplified by use cases. - Re Recommendation 5: from the perspective of the overall objective, the exploitation should be about the experimental ecosystem, for public administrations to develop use cases and pilot them, with a low threshold and cost efficient manner. For the core development of this concept, the exploitable results do not have to be there yet, what is needed is to understand the market for such an experimental environment and the value added it brings to take the experimental approach, which needs of prospective users are addressed and what they would expect from it (vis a vis what the ecosystem will deliver), what alternatives exist, and at a later stage if and how much they would be prepared to pay, operational costs and additional sources of income (for instance additional paid services) etc. - We’d like to stress the importance of establishing and activating an Advisory Board as soon as possible, in order to assist and be a sounding board to the Team through high-level inputs in the current critical issues of the Project. In agreement with Robbert and Marcella, I’d like to propose a small meeting with you and the impacted WPs leaders after the resubmission of the deliverables to take stock and way forward. Second half of November would work for you?

No specific limitations except the usual principle of sound financial management and good value for money. - i assume for this expenditure that a subcontract to us (fiware foundation) is needed. is this correct? Yes - as i initially did not allocate any budget for the role (my mistake), shall we have an amendment to enable the subcontract? No, as the subcontracting is requested to comply with an EC requirement, it is safe to say that you can go with the simplified approach and report it in the next period (final). If there will be need for an amendment in the future we can include the subcontracting too. thank you in advance. ciao, stefano On Fri, 3 Sept 2021 at 13:28, COSTANTINO Giorgio < Giorgio.COSTANTINO at ec.europa.eu> wrote: Hi Stefano, Summer break went … fast ;) Back to your question, the Ethical Advisor should provide independent recommendations, so I’d say the CEO of the coordinator would not be the best option. Same applies to the DPO of FIWARE foundation who I assume would have in some way the role of the DPO of the project. I am waiting for the monitors opinion on the reply you sent on 30/07. A feedback will be sent shortly.
