It is important to you that we…be a thought leader to shape the technology, shape standards, consider environmental impacts, and understand what is being done already

You want to do the above in...digital currencies, aid/philanthropy, supply chain, and best practices in implementation

And so first we will...define use cases, best practices, identify project proposals in proposed areas, and start a white paper on the above

  • Have annual events, summits and retreats
  • Indonesia Project
    • uneven subsidy for fuel program, wealthiest quarter capturing 33% of benefits
    • 5000 established digital identity, helped with more fair access
    • biometric, facial and fingerpoint non-touch, mobile app–there was an issue with headscarves blocking facial recognition, also issue with fingerprints that were illegible
    • Used EverID platform
  • Mae La Camp in Thailand

    • 35000 identities in refugee camp
    • iRespond and Evernym implemented
    • improves access to services in the camp, improves continuity of care
    • Use apps that allow them to keep records and use it outside of the camp
    • Sensitivities with population because they are not completely welcome in Thailand and have fleed from Myanmar, need to ensure ethics around informed consent and ensuring that the identities can't be used against the population
    • Information unraveling–negative party can't access sensitive information, for example, if just vulnerable population has a smart card, then just owning one can be a risk
