The scope of this task force is to analyse and discuss the political context and the legal aspects related to integration and interoperability of publicly funded e-Infrastructures and commercial cloud providers within Helix Nebula.
Even when new services do not depend on new legislation but are simply developed to improve existing ones more effectively or under a new service architecture, political support and sponsorship is often needed.
For effective cooperation, all stakeholders involved must share visions, agree on objectives and align priorities. The political context is about analysing the EC priorities and alignment about the integration of commercial providers with e-Infrastructures and identify where inputs for strategy evolution and sponsorship need to be provided. Concerning the legal context, it needs to explore what are the barrier around this integration and understand the recommendations to be provided.

Also the current set of national legislations may pose a problem to exploit the full potential of the Helix Nebula services as well as possible extra-EU applicable law.

Purpose

The scope of this task force is to analyse and discuss the political context and the legal aspects related to integration and interoperability of publicly funded e-Infrastructures and commercial cloud providers within Helix Nebula. For effective cooperation, all stakeholders involved must share visions, agree on objectives and align priorities. The political context is about analysing the EC priorities and alignment about the integration of commercial providers with e-Infrastructures and identify where inputs for strategy evolution and sponsorship need to be provided. Concerning the legal context, it needs to explore what are the barrier around this integration and understand the recommendations to be provided. The task force is called to contribute in answering the following questions and others that may arise in the course of the discussion:

  • How well this integration is aligned with the EC policy priorities in the cloud area (e.g., cloud strategy)
  • Do you see any particular issue in the political context that may affect the success in achieving interoperation of publicly funded infrastructures with commercial cloud providers?
  • Do you envisage any possible criticality in the compliance with the EU Data Protection proposal?
  • Which elements should be included in the definition of service provider liability?
