3. Introductions and User Instructions
Enter additional questions into the Webinar Q&A window
Enter administrative inquiries into the Chat window.
The spoken words on this Webinar are not authoritative but are only informative.
The written Clarifications (and the original CFP) are authoritative / normative.
Please save deep, detailed technical questions for written Q&A so that we don't make any mistakes or inject any ambiguity.
But the webinar content might still be very useful, so we'll record it and make the recording available.

4. Poll Question #1
Is this your first time learning about an OGC testbed?

5. Web Pages
The Testbed 14 web page is the root of the tree from which all other CFP and Testbed 14 documents can be accessed:

6. Part 2 Invitation to Tender (ITT)
As was the case in Testbed 13, any Participant working on the ESA deliverables will be contracted separately.
Bidders selected for the ESA deliverables will enter into a participation contract with (and get paid by) CGI (not OGC)
But day-to-day performance will be integrated alongside all the other testbed activities.

7. Poll Question #2
Are you interested in hearing more about Testbed 14 primarily as a...
Sponsor?
Participant?
Observer?
Not sure yet?

8. Initiative Roles and Tips for New Bidders
Unlike Testbed 13, many the tips for new Bidders were built right into the CFP itself.
But some additional interesting questions from those new to OGC testbeds have been received.

9. Schedule Proposals are due 21 January.
The Kickoff event will have to be rescheduled, probably to Tu-Th April.

10. [new] Bid Submission Form
The Bid Submission form is new for Testbed 14
The form is broken into a deliverable-by-deliverable set of sub-proposals to make it easier for deliverable subsets to be offered.
Form-based entry is designed to encourage "succinct" (brief and clear) descriptions of what is being proposed (per deliverable) in response to the CFP requirement for that deliverable.
This tool is new, so please be patient and let us know if you discover any defects.

11. Testbed Deliverables and Threads
Every Participant is required to provide at least some level of in-kind contribution, at least $1 for every $1 of cost-share requested.
In general, the more in-kind the better.
