2. GOVERNANCE AND HAND OVER

Hand over strategy - UPDATE
- Licinio Kustra Mano: Remembered the gaps pointed by DG SANTE regarding the handover process from the OpenNCP Technology.
  - The knowledge transfer of OpenNCP Community orchestration was happening more successfully than the technical handover that needs to be complemented with additional initiatives.
- markus.kalliola: clarified that the main doubts were not in the Hand-Over process in itself, but concerned the CEF financial aspect towards the OpenNCP Community activities forward to 2016...
  - In particular, because he had the perception that the knowledge needed to make further developments and technological enhancements were in hands (mainly) of the industry partners and not the Member States.
- Licinio Kustra Mano reinforced that the industry partners are part of the community, and having this, any knowledge transferred by the industry elements should be considered as knowledge transferred by the OpenNCP Community.
- Markus (Unlicensed) shared a "vision" - yet to be endorsed by the eHN in November - about the Governance model foreseen in CEF.
  - In this model, the OpenNCP Community and Technology are a direct responsability of the EC.
  - Licinio Kustra Mano: This represents a change in the nature of the community operations - previously this common resposability were handled by the Member States.
  - Markus (Unlicensed) concluded: it is necessary to be this way because it will be the EC who will assure and guarantee the content and quality of the deliveries of the OpenNCP Technology...
    - Allowing it to be used and enhanced by other european or worldwide projects where similar architectures can be used.
- It was concluded that:
  - Licinio Kustra Mano: having in consideration of this vision, forward to 2016, it should be considered an alignment on several activities for the next 4 months, with the goal of:
    - do a betther technical hand over;
    - prepare and make the EC autonomous to Govern and Operate the OpenNCP Community ahead from 2016.
  - The communication of the new Governance Model to the OpenNCP Community is foreseen to happen as soon as it is approved and adopted by the eHN in November 2015.
