Metric | Measure | Justification | Method of calculation | Timing | Responsible | Notes | Evidence actions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Penetration | Engagement by NRENs when there is potential interest/relevance shows the value of the GCP | Unique number of organisations represented in a rolling 12-month period out of a potential pool of interest | Bi-annually | GCP Coordinator | Binary count of unique organisations represented in a country. NB outside of Europe shown on a continent basis | Awareness, identify trends, manage lifecycle, support gaps |
2 | Retention | The effectiveness of the GCP can be measured by the ongoing participation of unique organisations | Recording on a rolling 12-month basis the attendance/non-attendance in all the meetings in that period for the GCP meetings of relevance and then taking an overall average.
Note this metric may also be considered over the whole life period (Term of reference stated) for a SIG when considering renewal of that SIG | Bi-annually | GCP Coordinator | Using the methodology of metric 1 to identify relevance | lifecycle |
3 | Knowledge base and reusable results | Objectively quantifiable output that can be re-used after the specific meeting – persistence of effect | Quantifiable output recorded per meeting (blog post/wiki/presentation/other).
Recorded by TF/SIG co-ordinator.
Measured as a percentage on a rolling 12 month against the number of meetings and if an output was made
| Monthly | TF/SIG coordinators | Use of a checklist to support co-ordinators to remind them of the reporting requirement in the conduct of the GCP meetings
*Possible pre-meeting checklist and post meeting checklist*
Comment from chair’s co-ordinators | Knowledge base |
4 | Active | Action through whatever medium (meetings/mails/etc) is a positive indication of the value of that GCP stream | The co-ordinator/steering committee to signal annually on the status of the GCP stream. | Bi-annually | TF/SIG coordinators | Measured as a binary |

green with the ability to add a comment | Manage lifecycle | ||||||
5 | Impact | Value creation as a result of work done | The co-ordinator to record in each meeting the impacts from earlier work – perhaps as a standing agenda item.
