"The reference to digital certificates is in relations to efforts to create an open-source digital platform with the goal of expanding access to safe, home-based testing"
Many have raised concerns about the introduction of a chip that will be used to vaccinate people against the coronavirus. Speculations are growing that the introduction of a chip is the only way out of worldwide lockdowns.
There are also claims that the coronavirus pandemic is a cover for a plan to implant trackable microchips and that the Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is behind it. Gates has since dismissed these claims as false.
The head of the Russian Communist party this week said that so-called "globalists" supported "a covert mass chip implantation which they may in time resort to under the pretext of a mandatory vaccination against coronavirus".
He didn't mention Bill Gates by name but in the US, Roger Stone, a former adviser to Donald Trump, said Bill Gates and others were using the virus for "microchipping people so we can tell 'whether you've been tested'."
There are so far no links between the digital ID2020 and COVID-19 vaccination but the Global Alliance for Vaccination and Immunization (GAVI) is one of founding partners of the alliance.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation said that the reference to digital certificates is in relations to efforts to create an open-source digital platform with the goal of expanding access to safe, home-based testing.
Microsoft, Accenture, GAVI, The Rockefeller Foundation and IDEO are the founding partners of the ID2020 Alliance.
ID2020 Alliance is building a new global model for the design, funding, and implementation of digital ID solutions and technologies.
ID2020 recognizes that changing the flow of funds is necessary to re-align incentives. That’s why Alliance partners are pooling funds to invest in programs that consider digital ID holistically, as a platform for diverse benefits, services, and use cases throughout an individual’s life.
"Private sector engagement is critical for solving at scale. Alliance partners include companies with a collective footprint in the billions and a shared commitment to an ethical approach to digital ID. Decisions about how Alliance funds are administered, which programs to fund, and which technical standards to support are made jointly by Alliance partners through a transparent governance process, preventing dominance by any single institution or sector," reads a statement on ID2020 Alliance website.
The Board
The governing body for the Alliance is the ID2020 Alliance Executive Board. The eleven member board includes five independent Directors, two Directors nominated as representatives of the public sector Founding Partners, two Directors nominated as representatives of the private sector Founding Partners, one Director nominated as a privacy expert, and one Director representing funding organizations.
The Advisory Committee
The Board is supported by four thematic Advisory Committees, which provide in-depth advice to the ID2020 Board. Membership in these committees is set by the Board, with Founding Partners eligible to nominate representatives to two Advisory Committees.
The Secretariat
ID2020, a US-registered 501(c)(3) based in New York, NY, is the Secretariat for the Alliance. As such, ID2020 is responsible and accountable for day-to-day operations, including: raising money to fund digital ID projects, coordinating with implementing partners for project implementation, setting and managing technical standards, monitoring and evaluation, legal and financial management and administration of the governance system.
Management of these activities is the responsibility of ID2020’s Executive Director.
