19. Relationships with other WPs
Dissemination and training requires by definition interactions with all WPs, and
Will first be tested on the ETICS team
Since we will Eat our own dog food, the web application will be used by all WPs
Web interface is client of the web service build-system (WP3) and the testing (WP4)
Community portal provides a forum for ETICS partners and users
ETICS Kick-off - WP January CERN

20. Relationships with external projects
EU-OMII
Will be member of the ETICS board of experts
Collaboration are being put in place such that the EU-OMII middleware is build and tested using the ETICS Service
BELIEF
Will work together on joint Quality Assurance events
GGF
We plan to participate in definition of standards and automated tools, which still has to be clarified
ICEAGE
Collaborate and participate in training events
Other
NESSI, C-OMEGA, etc

21. Risk assessment
Definition of the ETICS Quality Certification Process is not clearly defined
Mitigation: involve the Board of Experts, to guide the scope to the certification
The composition of the Board of Experts has to be representative of future stake-holders of the ETICS certification process
Mitigation: confirm the participation of current members and exploit leads given by ETICS partners
