Tasks of the central EGDI facility Sample Clauses

Tasks of the central EGDI facility. In the second part of the report, the tasks of the “central facility” needed to run the EGDI (at a minimum level, so exclusively relating to basic maintenance of the infrastructure as well as data and information services) are outlined. The section gives also a first estimate of the effort – in terms of manpower - and funding needed to carry out these tasks. The tasks are grouped into three different categories: “Central-central” (tasks that have to be carried out by the central organisation itself”); “Central-delegated” (tasks that relate to the central facility, but could be delegated to a single member of the infrastructure); and “distributed” (tasks that need to be carried out locally at each member of the infrastructure). Apart from the practical tasks needed the run the infrastructure, the report also identifies legal and organisational tasks needed to set up and govern the infrastructure. Recommendations - EGDI should make a choice whether the tasks identified under “central-delegated” are indeed delegated to one or more individual member organisations. - If this choice is made, than procedures should be put in place to determine who such tasks are delegated to (e.g. through a tendering procedure, which could be repeated on a regular basis), and under what conditions (e.g. through a system of service level agreements). - “Distributed” tasks should also be clearly described and procedures for their performance should be indicated (again e.g. through service level agreements).
