– Did not know exactly how they would work
• EGI_DS classified and analysed activities
– EGI Global Task:
• Done once across the community for all
– NGI International Tasks:
• Done nationally to interface with European activities
– Internal National activities

Scenario Planning

•
•
•
What if there is no EC money in 2014?
What if there is limited EC money in 2014?
What if the EC money cannot go to operations?
What if the EC money only goes to innovation?
How much money is needed to operate EGI?
How much money is needed to grow EGI?
Need information to answer these issues

Classifying the Services
Definitions
Critical (CRI)
What is the impact on EGI of not doing the activity?
If this activity is not done, EGI will end in the short-term
Degradation (DEG) If this activity is not done, EGI will degrade over time
No Growth (NGR) If this activity is not done, EGI will not grow or expand in
the future
None (NO)
If this activity is not done, there will be no impact on EGI
(e.g. activity performed by a partner external to EGI, activity
not needed, or this activity can be performed inside another
project/activity/organisation)

Rest of the Day
• Service Analysis (for after 2014)
– Where do we need more/less/new effort?
– How critical to EGI is the service?
– How much does the service cost?
• Breakouts by area to review spreadsheet

Summary
• We need good data to make good decisions
• Criticality classification:
– Not about being funded or not funded
– It is more about who and how it is funded
– Not everything can be critical!
• Feedback will be used to refine strategy
– Develop EGI business model for 2014+
– Identify the projects needed to continue growth
