Resource Assumptions. The FS department will perform due diligence to provide services as outlined below, provided that FS funding, staffing and material resources are maintained at current levels.
Resource Assumptions. The Principals recognize that CIFER Consortium deliverables can only be achieved with adequate resources allocated and directed towards achieving architectural and functional feature requirements. A separate Appendix will be created and amended to this base document outlining the resource expectations for each Principal. (either project or institutional partner) The daily assignments, project objectives, and performance feedback for any in-kind contributed staff will come from the assigned CIFER Consortium Director or their designate. If there is a gap in the in-kind resource commitment Principals agree to substitute cash for the in-kind contributed resources. Principals will fulfill that gap with cash equivalent at the nominal rate indicated in the next section. Principals shall also pay for necessary travel required for resources to meet face to face periodically. Resource Estimations Contributions can be in the form of cash, software and/or other Intellectual Property contributions, or in-kind FTE’s. The duration of each cash or in-kind FTE contribution shall be clearly identified with a start and end date and nominal amount. In-kind FTE contributions should be nominalized to one of two cash equivalent levels. ($120,000 per year for a junior resource and $140,000 for a senior resource) The Consortium Director should be consulted for help in determining the nominal cash level to use for a proposed in-kind FTE contribution. Implementation Intent The Principal organizations listed in the following Appendixes affirm their intent to implement the various IAM open source software that the CIFER Consortium supports as releases become ready for production and meet local priorities for migration. Appendix A – XXX Project The XXX Project agrees to provide and align its XXX code base as Background IP (as defined in the CIFER Consortium Charter) property. The XXX project agrees to align the XXX code towards overall CIFER Consortium goals. Alignment means, to the greatest extent possible, collaborating with the CIFER Consortium on making the XXX code standards based and interoperable with other CIFER Aligned Projects. The XXX Project Partners jointly agree to allocate existing or new project resources to participate in the CIFER Consortium according to the following conditions.
