Dear WP3 Partners, In line with the recent intentions to extend SPARTA brought up at project level (see below), the Roadmap Committee has carried internal discussions and found beneficial to postpone "D3.4 Updated SPARTA SRIA (Roadmap v3)" to M48 instead of M36. As for "D3.5 SPARTA SRIA Lesson Learned and Future Assessment", we believe that it does not require an extension, so we intend to keep it due at M36. As partners in WP3, you are welcome to spend your allocated resources by M48, if the extension of the deliverable is granted. Otherwise, feel free to use your PMs for WP3 within the originally allocated time, until M36. Since the SPARTA roadmap is a living document, contributions to it can be submitted at any time, regardless of how far the deliverable deadline is. In addition, the WP leaders TUM, INRIA, and CNR have been carrying cross-pilot interactions with the roadmapping teams of the other cybersecurity pilots within a commissioned Focus Group. We believe that this joint effort could prove very useful for the EC and the cybersecurity ecosystem of the EU if it gets materialized. Therefore, we will propose an additional deliverable for M48 that will synthesize the outcomes of the FG, with additional PMs for the 3 partners involved as follows: 6 PMs for TUM, 6 PMs for INRIA, 3 PMs for CNR. Please let us know if you have any thoughts or objections on the aforementioned points, as an amendment to the original GA must be agreed upon by all, if the extension proposal gets through. Sincerely, Marius & the Spartan Roadmap Committee -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [SPARTA - bodies.executive-board] SPARTA - Extension Date: Thu, 3 Jun 2021 12:18:16 +0000 From: LEMESLE Augustin <augustin.lemesle(a)cea.fr> To: bodies.executive-board(a)internal.sparta.eu <bodies.executive-board(a)internal.sparta.eu> Dear all, As discussed in last EB & SD calls, we will move forward w.r.t. the extension of SPARTA. For this, our first step will be to make a concrete proposition to our PO giving a rough idea of what we want to do and the necessary efforts. We, thus, propose that you, as WP leaders, start this discussion in your respective WP with its participants to propose suggestions for this extension. For each suggestion, we propose to fill the small form below to have a quick view of the efforts, motivation and impact involved. •             Type: [Extension of Task / WP / New Task / New WP / …]           •             Potential participants: •             New deliverables: •             New estimated PMs per participant: •             Summary: [Short and factual description of the new proposition] • Motivation: [What will it bring to SPARTA?] •             Impact: [What will be the impact on SPARTA and more generally the cybersecurity ecosystem?] •             Strategic Planning: [How does it relate to the 9 axis and topic from the Strategic planning proposed by the Commission?] As this matter is also linked with the self-assessment and suggestion we sent to the EC recently, we have also added a line to explicit this link. For this part you can find attached the latest version of the self-assessment that we sent to the EC. We will fix a deadline for this at *30^th June*, after which we will filter and compile the proposition before discussing it with you and submitting it to the PO. If you have any additional question or remark concerning this, feel free to ask us. Best regards, Augustin.
