In order for there to be clarity around mutual cost implications and service provision levels to external stakeholders, each such service should be the subject of an SLA agreement between OpenAIRE and the member provider. This is also in place to maintain the quality assurance ambitions of all parties concerned. The Term SLA has been substituted by the Principles of Participation and finally Rules of Participation in the <a href="/openaire-amke-statutes-april-2020" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statutory documents</a> (24.04.20).</p></div> </div> </div> <div class="el-item"> <a class="el-title uk-accordion-title" href>How will members and non-members use or interact with OpenAIRE services?</a> <div class="uk-accordion-content"> <div class="el-content uk-panel"><p>There is no direct or necessary relationship between membership of the Legal Entity and use of OpenAIRE services. OpenAIRE services (such as APIs) are currently free to use and access by members and non-members alike. As the services created under OpenAIRE Advance are released, others will also be able to use these related products at no cost during the life of OpenAIRE Nexys (till end 2023), whether they are funders, researchers, or research-intensive institutions.</p> <p>However, where these services will be employed in the established workflows of other research infrastructures rather than research-intensive institutions, or taken up to be tested or furthered as part of funded project work, the additional effort required to adapt and maintain these services would be reflected in appropriate costs which can be factored into bids and recurring maintenance grants.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">OpenAIRE will also have a set of standard Terms of Service documents for different categories of services. This normally includes registered and non registered users (if differentiation is required between the two types). An agreement on licences used for content released under OpenAIRE needs to be established.</p></div> </div> </div> <div class="el-item"> <a class="el-title uk-accordion-title" href>Will OpenAIRE consider adopting in-kind contributions from members?</a> <div class="uk-accordion-content"> <div class="el-content uk-panel"><p>Eventually, membership of the Legal Entity may entail offering in-kind contributions, in particular, if it is established as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC). In this case, Members whose services are used by OpenAIRE will pledge to offer them at no cost, in exchange for the products and services of other LE members, that could be used to accelerate services development and provide new opportunities to support open science in OpenAIRE LE countries.</p> <p>These issues will be covered at the point OpenAIRE becomes an ERIC via a formal access policy based on the Commission’s guidelines, its Charter for Access, published in consultation with the ESFRI, the e-infrastructure Reflection Group (e-IRG), and the European Research Area stakeholder organisations in March 2016 (<a href="https://ec.europa.eu/research/infrastructures/index.cfm?pg=access">more</a>). We do not foresee this to be initiated before end of 2023.</p></div> </div> </div> <div class="el-item"> <a class="el-title uk-accordion-title" href>Will OpenAIRE start charging for Services?</a> <div class="uk-accordion-content"> <div class="el-content uk-panel"><p>OpenAIRE is in principle able to charge for services (Art. 16(2)). However, the details of how this is to be implemented, who will own the services and other related assets, and what the level of the service fee will be is to be agreed amongst its members in the GA. The starting principle is that all services offered by OpenAIRE are free of cost for the scientific and research community, although the GA may decide otherwise (Art.19)</p> <p><em>Currently, a <a href="/business-models-wg">Working Group on Business Models</a> has been assigned to deliver a proposal on what are the best models (costs, revenues, channels) to fit and apply on individual services.</em></p> <p>OpenAIRE members are not prohibited to independently offer commercial services (Art. 16(4)).</p></div> </div> </div> <div class="el-item"> <a class="el-title uk-accordion-title" href>Can a Regular Member or an Ordinary Member raise an objection against a legal action?</a> <div class="uk-accordion-content"> <div class="el-content uk-panel"><p style="text-align: justify;"><em>The Regular Member may raise an objection against a legal action being carried out by a person appointed by the Chair of the Project Steering Committee of OpenAIRE Advance, but that doesn’t seem to be a power of an ordinary member.</em></p> <p>As stated above, not directly. The agreement between the members of any National Membership Consortium with its representative Regular Member is for the country concerned to regulate, although OpenAIRE has produced a template document for such an agreement.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="uk-grid-item-match uk-width-auto@m"> <div class="uk-tile-default uk-tile"> <div class="uk-margin-medium"
