CCI GF Task Force

This page describes the proposal for a  COVID-19 Credentials Initiative Governance Framework Task Force (CCI GF TF). It was created by Sankarshan Mukhopadhyay and Chris Raczkowski.

Objectives

1. To make available a set of documents which include (but are not limited to) a governance framework for the establishment of an appropriate governance authority around topics related to COVID-19 emergency response
2. To help enable the development of tools, methods and systems which adopt the governance framework and apply the principles enshrined for public good

Background/Context

The CCI Governance Framework evolved as part of the Rules Workstream within the Covid Credentials Initiative. The focus of the Rules Workstream was, by early June, to produce a first version of a Governance Framework which is aligned with the purpose of the wider CCI effort as well as aligned to the needs of the emerging ecosystem of developers, applications and systems which bring technology centric interventions to addressing the needs originating from the pandemic.
