• Comprehensibility: We want to go for use cases that are not «too academic», but easily understandable for most
  • Nothing that needs lots of explications and community insights
  • Community: Suitability to communicate the use case to NREN staff and NREN stakeholders
  • General public: Suitability to communicate the use case to the general public
• BenefitsBenefit: We can easily describe the added benefit with respect to existing solutions we have in place or easy to grasp benefits for problem statements we did not address so far
  • General benefit: We can explain the benefits in easy language understandable to NREN staff and NREN stakeholders
  • Community benefit: What does it bring explicitly to our community?
  • X-sectorial relevance: Can we show relevance beyond our own community? E.g. presenting diploma from our sector to outsiders
• Innovation: What makes this use case innovative?  
  • Enabling: why was it not possible so far?
  • Outlook: What could come next
  • Disruption: We can explain the change or disruption it introduces to existing solutions or approaches
  • We should not go for marginal gains, but rather for major steps
  We do not want to compete with existing solutions, but enable new stuff
• Legitimation: We want to go for use cases use cases we have an estalished position in and can easily «claim territory» in some way
  • It should be apparent that our community has experience and a role in this use case
  It should be clear that we are needed here, we do not need to explain our raison d’être
  • Existing footprint: We can easily point to existing services or other achievements in our community relevant in the context of this use case
  • Strategy support: We have supporting statements in our GÉANT strategy or those of NRENs we can make reference to
  • Community benefit: We can easily point out benefits to our NREN stakeholders (even without explicit GÉANT/NREN service vision)
• Product or governance vision: It should be a use case where there is some future role in running it for us on GÉANT/NREN level
  • We do not focus on paving the way for others, but primarily for ourselves
  • Service improvement: We can easily point to improvements achievable with existing activities or services within our GÉANT community
  • Service roadmap: We can easily point to improvements achievable with envisaged new services or activities within our GÉANT community
  • Governance support: We can easily explain the benefit of our GÉANT community governance structures to the use case
  We are not doing research but shaping our own future
