GCP impact assessment

1

Penetration

Engagement by NRENs when there is potential interest/relevance shows the value of the GCP

Unique number of organisations represented in a rolling 12-month period out of a potential pool of interest

Bi-annually

Binary count of unique organisations represented in a country. NB outside of Europe shown on a continent basis

1st reporting period: June to December (February/March GCC meeting)

2nd reporting period: June (previous year) to end of May (actual year) - (June GA)

Awareness, identify trends, manage lifecycle, support gaps

2

Retention

The effectiveness of the GCP can be measured by the ongoing participation of unique organisations

Recording on a rolling 12-month basis the attendance/non-attendance in all the meetings in that period for the GCP meetings of relevance and then taking an overall average.

Note this metric may also be considered over the whole life period (Term of reference stated) for a SIG when considering renewal of that SIG

Using the methodology of metric 1 to identify relevance

1st reporting period: June to December (February/March GCC meeting)

2nd reporting period: June (previous year) to end of May (actual year) - (June GA)

Knowledge base and reusable results

Objectively quantifiable output that can be re-used after the specific meeting – persistence of effect

Quantifiable output recorded per meeting (blog post/wiki/presentation/other).

Recorded by TF/SIG co-ordinator.

Measured as a percentage on a rolling 12 month against the number of meetings and if an output was made

Use of a checklist to support co-ordinators to remind them of the reporting requirement in the conduct of the GCP meetings

*Possible pre-meeting checklist and post meeting checklist*

Comment from chair’s co-ordinators

Knowledge base

4

Active

Action through whatever medium (meetings/mails/etc) is a positive indication of the value of that GCP stream

The co-ordinator/steering committee to signal annually on the status of the GCP stream.

Measured as a binary red/amber/green with the ability to add a comment

1st reporting period: June to December (February/March GCC meeting)

2nd reporting period: June (previous year) to end of May (actual year) - (June GA)

Manage lifecycle

5

Impact

Value creation as a result of work done

The co-ordinator to record in each meeting the impacts from earlier work – perhaps as a standing agenda item.

Recorded in free text to be used by the GCC

Shows link from TF/SIG to project deliverable

Use of a checklist to support co-ordinators to remind them of the reporting requirement in the conduct of the GCP meetings
