| 10 mins | Governance takeaways from Bhutan’s presentation on NFID given at Ecosystem Foundry WG | Drummond | Jacques von Benecke, the CTO of Druk Investments and Holdings, the company in-charge implementing Bhutan's National Foundational Id or NFID, gave their first ever public presentation, the recording of the talk can be accessed at the Ecosystem Foundry WG link. Drummond Reed got involved in the project fairly early on and that the switch over to SSI was due to the Drummond's book which was picked by Jacques and his team. He explains that Bhutan skipped federated Ids and went straight to SSI and it was similar to how developing countries skipped over conventional telecom systems and leapfrogged straight into mobile. He mentioned how Bhutan took governance seriously and drafted a National Digital Identity Act to root their project in law. Although the act has not been passed yet, it is in Parliament, and they hope it will be passed in the next session. Although, the National Digital Identity Act was drafted with the help of outside experts, the act is meant to provide a legal framework for digital identity in the country and ensure governance and regulation of the system. The act follows the Meta model, which designates a governing authority and an administering body, with the administering body responsible for implementing policies and frameworks. The act also includes a public review period and follows many of the recommendations made by Drummond and other SSI experts. Scott Perry discussed his work with Bhutan on governance, compliance, and accreditation. He mentioned that they have already made decisions on their technical stack and that they need to figure out what rules they want to hold themselves accountable to. Scott notes that the ecosystems of digital trust and identity will require some kind of oversight governance rules and trust assurance schemes, but there are still interoperability issues associated with it. He also said that there is still work to be done on the governance structure, and there are many rules that need to be established. |
