Important update
by Soheil Human 17 Oct '21

17 Oct '21

Dear all, Thank you so much for all your efforts so far. Our proposal is becoming better and better every day. The time, however, is passing, and we have a very limited time to take these final steps. Here is our current plan: Today and tomorrow (everyone): — we will keep working on the proposal via Google Docs tonight and tomorrow. On Sunday (Petra) — on Sunday, Petra will kindly convert the Google Docs to MS Words and make the “main" document. Let’s call that document “main document” (and not “master”, see https://www.techrepublic.com/article/github-to-replace-master-with-main-sta…). From Sunday on (everyone) — From Sunday on, everyone is more than welcome to continue their contributions, but the contributions should be communicated with Petra/me section-by-section, paragraph-by-paragraph, or element-by-element, to be applied on the main document manually. — We will keep an updated version of the “main” document on our shared folder, but no one will edit it online. Like always, any feedback on this plan is appreciated. Thanks again, Cheers, Soheil -- Director Sustainable Computing Lab https://www.sustainablecomputing.eu <https://www.sustainablecomputing.eu/> Institute for Information Systems and New Media, Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Wien) https://nm.wu.ac.at/human <https://nm.wu.ac.at/human> Lecturer Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna

CASE 3 – Description: IMPORTANT
by Soheil Human 16 Oct '21

16 Oct '21

Dear Jon/Georg, Thanks a lot for improving the use-case description of the case 3 (also thanks @harsh for the initial text). The case is very interesting and well written, however, IMHO, we need to update the way we are presenting it. I think the technical aspects are good enough. However, a picky reviewer might ask us: so what? How does this benefit the European data economy in a more general sense (i.e. the other CMPs)? In the other two cases, we do not claim that we are only developing a system for Dell or ZGZ. Here also, IMHO, we need to change the narrative and position Signatu as one possible CMP. (This is more a matter of framing) The case "as it is" can certainly be used to show the feasibility of the framework (which is itself very important and one of the main reasons of having such pilots), but it seems to me that it is not easy to argue that the specific artefacts that will be developed in the case 3 will be useful for other CMPs, since the narrative is focused on one specific CMP. Again, I fully understand that the case “as it is” is enough for evaluation of the framework, but IMHO, we need to also promote the potential general benefits of the use-case (for other CMPs). What do you think? Here are my suggestions: – We use a more inclusive narrative – (clearly the case can provide us a good PoC for some aspects of our framework) – We explicitly discuss how this case can also benefit other European CMPs (and data controllers). In particular, IMHO, we need to update this sentence: "Pilot 3 involves trialling the integration of solutions developed within CoCoDat with Signatu's existing solutions related to consent management and creating documentation and policies for GDPR-compliance. In this, Signatu, in its capacity as a CMP and SaaS platform will:" – Question: "creating documentation and policies for GDPR-compliance” for whom? Do we only provide documentations and policies for “XYZ”, or there will be any other artefact that might be useful for “XYZ”? I’d appreciate it if you kindly consider these points.

CASE 1 – Description: IMPORTANT
by Soheil Human 16 Oct '21

16 Oct '21

Dear Aidan, Dear Merry, The case 1’s description has been improved (thanks @you + Jon/Georg/Vincent); however, it is still highly focused on consent. Could you please include other aspects to the case description: e.g. cybersecurity, federated computation, other privacy meta data, HALE meta-data, cyber threats, etc.? I’d appreciate it if you develop the story based on our main elements and include them explicitly in the use-case description: — Cybersecurity meta data — privacy and security threat detection, communication, prevention, — human-centric computing, i.e. PDPCASs and DCS-UIs — Transparency and understandability — Federated computation: negotiations, operations, etc…. The use-cases are supposed to provide implementations of the main framework and need to be designed according to our overall story. We might not include all aspects, but focusing only on consent is not the focus of the project based on the Call text as well as our narrative. Consent is for sure an important part of the framework but is not the only thing that we work on.

CASE 2 – Description: IMPORTANT
by Soheil Human 16 Oct '21

16 Oct '21

Dear Victor/Beatriz, Thanks for improving the case 2 description. It is an interesting case. However, IMHO, we still need to improve it based on our general narrative and the expectations of the call text. There are many comments waiting for you in the document where you are explaining the case. I’d appreciate it if you address them asap.

The description of cases
by Soheil Human 15 Oct '21

15 Oct '21

Dear all, This is a kind reminder that the description of the cases are still missing in the excellence section (1.2.1.2 Use-case Pilots). I’d appreciate it if you kindly finalise them asap (by tonight/tomorrow early morning). Aidan/Merry: the first case / smart cars => Jon/George will kindly update the diagram @Beatriz/victor: the second case / smart cities @Jon @George @Rigo: the third case: consent management platform / finalisation Thank a lot, Best, Soheil -- Director Sustainable Computing Lab https://www.sustainablecomputing.eu <https://www.sustainablecomputing.eu/> Institute for Information Systems and New Media, Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Wien) https://nm.wu.ac.at/human <https://nm.wu.ac.at/human> Lecturer Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna

A new task for the use case 3?
by Soheil Human 15 Oct '21

15 Oct '21

Dear Jon, Georg, Harsh, Rigo, Vincent, IMHO since we added a new use-case, we need to add a task to WP5 to implement the use-case. Currently, this is missing. I wonder if you could kindly add the task and provide the text?

Project Name

15 Oct '21

Dear all, Some of the colleagues raised serious concerns regarding the project’s name. I will coordinate a very short meeting regarding this to choose a new name. If you like to be involved in the meeting please let me know. You are more than welcome to share your ideas and suggestions via email before the meeting. Thanks and cheers, Soheil -- Director Sustainable Computing Lab https://www.sustainablecomputing.eu <https://www.sustainablecomputing.eu/> Institute for Information Systems and New Media, Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Wien) https://nm.wu.ac.at/human <https://nm.wu.ac.at/human> Lecturer Department of Philosophy, University of Vienna

Deliverable count
by OMahony, Aidan 15 Oct '21

15 Oct '21

Hi all, Someone in another proposal pointed me towards this document "EU Funding & Tenders Online Manual - EU Funding Programmes 2021-2027"<https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/comm…>. Under "Milestones & deliverables" It states "Limit the number of deliverables to max 10-15 for the entire project.". My understanding is that applies to us and I think we are running about 2-2.5x that limit. Should we consider reducing the number of deliverables?
