Policy Paper:
Participant Work
The identity management landscape is complex and its challenges are high-stakes. Numerous national governments use or are developing digital identification systems. International organizations such as the World Bank support the adoption of these systems as well as the development of technical standards and norms. Digital identification is an increasingly indispensable role in the modern economy - enabling the operation of online banking and financial services, e-commerce, travel, mobile networks and telecom operations, and countless other services - and the private sector is highly involved in the development of identification technology and policy. NGOs, global foundations, and other civil society organizations are also influential. Finally, the general public is increasingly engaged with issues related to privacy, whether through consumer choices or political activity. All of these constituencies have different priorities and there are competing perspectives on various aspects of digital ID.
Participants in the policy output track produced a resource for leaders in either government, the private sector, civil society, or another category that is actively working on issues related to digital identity.
