  3. Current model

  4. Centralized governance EarthCube Office

  5. “The Internet has no centralized governance in either technological implementation or policies for access and usage; each constituent network sets its own standards” Decentralized governance

  6. Conclusions & recommendations • EarthCube is a governable community • We have an actionable plan and timeline for the development of a governance framework • We recommend: • Putting Governance framework in place first • Forming an interim governance committee ASAP • Making the governance framework operational by December 2012 • Continued and enhanced community engagement

  7. Our definition of governance Governance refers to the processes, structure and organizational elements that determine, within an organization or system of organizations, how power is exercised, how stakeholders have their say, how decisions are made, and how decision makers are held accountable.

  8. Governance Models

  9. Governance as a System Weill & Ross, 2004

  10. Case studies - 255 organizations - IT governance

  11. Milestones and Tasks: Step 1 Determine scope of responsibilities and authorities of Governance Framework for EarthCube TIME: begin with Charrette, complete by 15 August DELIVERABLE: Document reporting findings and decisions leading to scope of work for Initial Governance Framework

  12. Milestones and Tasks: Step 2 Identify interim governance committee in collaboration with stakeholder community TIME: begin with Charrette, complete by 15 August DELIVERABLE: Document reporting findings and decisions, identifying who is involved

  13. Milestones and Tasks: Step 3 Determine the initial Governance Framework and charter TIME: Begin 15 Aug complete by 15 Nov DELIVERABLE: Initial charter for EarthCubeGovernance Framework

  14. Milestones and Tasks: Step 4 Implement the initial EarthCube Governance Framework TIME: Begin 1 Jan 2013 DELIVERABLE: Document reporting decisions; workshop series

  15. Figure 1: Gantt Chart for implementation of EarthCube governance Milestones and tasks. Scope of Work for EC Gov Framework Identify interim governance committee Determine the initial Govern ance Framework Implement the EarthCube Governance Charter Implement the initial EarthCube Governance Framework

  16. Community Engagement Process

  17. Governance Roadmap Recommendations • Interim Governance Committee • Implement Governance Roadmap • Goals: • Evaluate governance models ranging from: • current status (NSF funds each piece separately) • centralized body • Decentralized approach

  18. Governance Roadmap Implementation • Interim governance committee needs to identify: • Current components of cyberinfrastructure (data and service providers) • Your organizational paradigms & governance needs • Interactions among CI components them and between them • Interactions with systems outside of EarthCube, and the needs of EarthCube consumers • Including 'long tail' of scientists

  19. EarthCube Governance Requirements • Be flexible to accommodate a range of governance archetypes that meet the needs of each of the sub-discipline communities and achieve the goals of NSF • Have the ability to address foreseen and unforeseen challenges • Be able to adequately address requirements identified by the community constituents

  20. Challenges Self-selected or Closely-Held leadership Levels of participation Types of organizations

  21. Governance Framework Challenges Decision-making processes Incorporate best practices and lessons learned Reduce barriers to participation Collaboration, communication, community Culture Form should follow function Education and outreach Evolution

  22. DARPA (Edwards et al. 2007)

  23. Governance Framework Challenges Evaluation Goals and objectives Governance as a system / multiple levels of governance Integration Interoperability Leadership Legal issues Metrics

  24. Governance Framework Challenges Managerial/Operational Governance Scientific and Technical governance Sustainability Risk Mitigation Scale Temporal Aspects Trust Vision

  25. Risks Conflicting visions of EarthCube goals Timely implementation of governance framework Sufficient funding and NSF commitment Community buy-in and commitment Isolated from other infrastructure activities Bridging governance archetypes and communities

  26. Questions from the audienceQuestions to the audience

  27. Questions to the Audience What attributes/activities do you need EarthCube to do? What do you need from EarthCube governance? Do you agree that governance framework should be put in place at the start? If that doesn’t happen until early 2013, how would that impact your timeline?

  28. Governance as a System Weill & Ross, 2004

  29. Governance as a System Weill & Ross, 2004

  30. Who decides on the Governance framework? How do we choose members of the Interim Governance Committee?
