e-justice primary use cases
e-justice Overview 3
e-justice primary use cases Matrimonial matters and parental responsibility Maintenance Obligations European Account Preservation Order facilitation of the resolution of legal issues across national borders making easier either cross-border court-to-court or cross-border court-to-citizen communications involving electronic signing and secure transmission of electronic documents
Real life scenarios edocuments eid semantics esignature edelivery Cross border cases for: e-health easier access to health services while abroad e-justice electronic issuing of a claim in a foreign court e-procurement electronic bidding in other EU countries business lifecycle online completion of formalities for company setup abroad 5 and more: e-citizen lifecycle, maritime e-cooperation, e-agriculture
major building blocks Formal standards (ETSI, CEN) & non-formal specifications (OASIS, W3C, ) reference implementation (Join-Up) community of users & support

e-sens Electronic Simple European Networked Services Introduction of Workpackage 3 of esens Governance & Sustainability
What sustainability is to us Long term (10+y) consolidation and maintenance of building blocks. Building Blocks (BB) lifecycle (assessment, improvement, operations) governance (principles, structure & legal form) financing (rationales & business case) many external dependencies developments in the framework of eidas Regulation, 10 Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) egovernment Expert Group.
Sustainable Building Blocks Assessing the sustainability of Building Blocks Assessment framework with 3 main assessment criteria: Standardization (technical maturity, openness, IPR, lifecycle management, maintenance, service levels, security) Policy Alignment (interoperability, compliance, member states, legal, data protection, applicability, potential) Market/business need (business need by users, market support by implementers) assessment framework building on 11 CAMSS (Common Assessment Method for Standards and Specifications) from EC ISA program ADMS (Asset Description Metadata Scheme) Specific sustainability requirements from esens

Governance (legacy) Before e-sens (in the LSP) lack of long-term governance perspective, except for Open Peppol Governance was considered withing the domain projects-oriented approach -> no long term strategies and organizations Transparency only to for those within e-sens is an EU co-funded project under the ICT PSP

What are the preferred features of a governance structure, for now and in the long term? Which principles should be preferred when a function/activity will be governed at European level? 1. 2. 3. 4. 19 21/05/2015 Active involvement of MS in the process; Clarity of responsibility and accountability for different tasks between the stakeholders; Keeping in mind the construction of a European interoperability ecosystem; Ease of use by the administrations and businesses. e-sens WP3
What to jointly govern?
more efficient alignment efforts aim of the ecosystem is to provide cross-domain services, enabled by BBs.

4 Guiding principles Four guidelines to add these values at low cost Subsidiarity Reciprocity Transparency Flexibility added value from improved Knowledge Sharing

Requirements for sustainability In order to further lock in the benefits of addressing the critical success factors and to make it sustainable, the processes and procedures that enable the governance and linked implementation should ensure the following: That the fundamental principles of the EU mandate are respected: Conferral, Subsidiarity and Proportionality; That core value of the EU are respected in both the approach to governance and the resulting solutions: Openness, transparency and inclusiveness; That the stakeholder representation and taking into consideration of their needs is locked in.; That the governance decisions are implemented. Confirms both principles AND the use of BOMOS Deloitte report on Cross-Border Services
Krechmer Criteria on Openness Open Meeting: All stakeholders can participate in the development process Consensus: All interests were discussed and agreement reached no domination. Due Process: Balloting and an appeals procedure may be used for the definitive solution. Open IPR: IPR (intellectual propertyrights) in relation to the standard are available for those using it. One World: Univocal definition of the standard, worldwide Open Change: All changes are proposed and agreed in a forum supporting the five rights above. Open Documentation: Draft documents of the committee or other consultative groups and completed documents about the standard are readily available for implementation and use Open Interface: An open interface supports migration and makes it possible to market private label versions. The standardized interfaces are not hidden or controlled. Open use: There are objective conformity checks and mechanisms for implementation testing and user evaluation. Continuity in Support: Standards are supported until use of the standard ceases, instead of support until the suppliers lose interest
BOMOS made it practical
BOMOS was not intended for: an ecosystem of organisations coordination more than governance SBB s Open Peppol did a check Detailed RFC processes maybe ITIL?? (even) more (& good) service provisioning framework, less inter-organisation governance close to no business development/market adoption focus For every situation translation for each context trade-off between flexibility (~shopping list) and structure in general OPENNESS is not garanteed, needs attention through the entire process what's open: participation? decision making? process? result?
E-SENS Objective in relation to BOMOS 1. Clear and efficient decision-making process BOMOS2i page: 15 Decision making 2. Involvement LSP s BOMOS2i page: 15 participation 3. Stakeholders involvement BOMOS2i page 15 stakeholder analysis (NEN)
(new) e-sens Activity Model
Thank you! What do you take away from these discussions?
Discussions Contribute assessment model (back) to CAMSS Interesting putting ethics at the heart of design How to discuss reciprocity in public bodies and with businesses? Want to discuss in particular some of the changes we made to BOMOS? How to collaborate with other existing standardisation structures (& their workflow/requirements) Should there be a BOMOS-light, with less activities?
