What is the NGI Commons DCTF?
The NGI Commons Digital Commons task force (DCTF) is an expert body with technical expertise and a strategic outlook created to help analyse the NGI innovations portfolio and the effect of NGI funding on Digital Commons/ Internet Commons (DC/IC) initiatives. It consists of a hand-picked group of prominent researchers, policy and technology experts, possibly with no ties to the NGI-funded projects.
The DCTF will play several key roles in supporting NGI Commons’s development:
- Help identify DC/IC priorities
- Help define the criteria and framework to analyse the NGI portfolio
- Help identify DC/IC initiatives of relevance to the NGI and establish liaisons
- Help select use cases to measure the leverage effect of NGI funding
- Provide advice on a long-term exploitation and sustainability action plan
