Sovrin Future�What is my focus in the position?
As an advocate for transformation in healthcare and public services, it’s exciting to see the rapid rise of consortia and standards bodies developing blockchain governance and internationally recognized SSI frameworks.
Sovrin Foundation, as a leading advocate and network to advance SSI, has a unique opportunity to help contribute to standard-based adoption of SSI across multiple industries and use cases. This is at a time when the pandemic raises consideration of credentialing, national digital identities and “passports”. Participation in the Board of Trustees would help advance the collaboration of multiple int’l stakeholders, governments and standards groups to achieve the mission of Identity for All.
