Charging for EGI Services
- Steven Newhouse (EGI.EU)
Description
Due to potential changes in future funding models, a thought experiment around adding pay-for-use models for EGI services that compliments current usage models was endorsed by the EGI Council. This session will cover their recommendations regarding this issue and the different roles, models and plans that are proposed for how such models could be applied within EGI. This includes a short-term experiment for NGIs to participate that would feed into longer-term initiatives. This session also provides and opportunity to discuss the supporting services that should be put in place by EGI.eu, NGIs and resource centres in order to implement the pay-for-use model.
Objectives:
• Present the EGI Pay-for-Use Model
• Discuss the model and agreement on the processes
• Identify participants of the proposed experiment
