- David Luchuk explained that, following the Feb 9 launch of the Good Health Pass Collaborative, Trust over IP is proceeding with the launch of its Good Health Pass Taskforce on Tuesday Feb 23. An announcement will be made to the All Members mailing list and a self-subscription calendar option will be created in Groups.io.
- Drummond Reed observed that Trust over IP was created to solve hard problems and Good Health Pass is our "graduate exam." He highlighted 7 specific challenges that need to be solved to meet the pressing demand to re-open travel internationally. He also confirmed that, to the greatest extent possible, these efforts will align with the WHO Smart Vaccination Certification group.
- Glenn Morgan indicated that challenges in the travel industry go beyond the vaccination and test credentials, and now include complex Passenger Locator Forms required by countries that each apply different requirements and criteria.
- Drummond Reed agreed this set of key issues, along with the question of how to deal with paper credentials in the same operational model, need to be addressed by the Good Health Pass Collaborative with the help of our taskforce.
- To this end, Kaliya Young indicated she is considering the need for a "summit" on paper credentials as part of the Covid Credentials Initiative.
- Glenn Morgan raised the question of creating a globally recognized identity scoring system to support international travel.
- Daniel Bachenheimer indicated that a draft system has been developing for that purpose, including both identity authentication and assurance levels.
- Drummond Reed observed that identity assurance needs to take place at multiple stages in a traveler's journey, and these questions would be considered by the Trust over IP taskforce.
