D2.6: Governance Framework for the European Open Science Cloud

This document outlines an initial draft framework for a stakeholder driven governance and decision- making structure. This will form the basis, of a governance piloting exercise whereby the framework will be co-designed and developed with the community using the draft framework outlined here as a foundation and strawman.

The draft framework outlines: a three-layer governance model consisting of Strategic, Executive and Steering layers, and the interactions and decision flow between these layers; a resource model for the EOSC, and a skeleton outline of the Executive layers role in commissioning and supporting the EOSC resource; an outline of the role and skeleton outline of the structure of the Steering layer in the form of Stakeholder Forums.
