1/Vaccine docs currently required by customs (not airlines!) in # of countries. (Immunity not that different) @Delta CEO Ed Bastion appears to support travel health doc modernization together w/ large number of think tanks and prominent publications CON& #39;T https://twitter.com/LuxeTiffany/status/1254495785829482501">https://twitter.com/LuxeTiffa...
2/ @RANDCorporation& #39;s @charles_ries in @WSJ also urged travel doc modernization at @g20org, joining a large number of think-tanks, prominent orgs and publications in criticizing int& #39;l bodies for far too little covid-response at #G20
https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> and #UNSC. CON& #39;T https://twitter.com/Acculation/status/1245742214539608065">https://twitter.com/Acculatio...
3/In addition to tweets, we& #39;ve now corresponded directly w/ various int& #39;l standards orgs. If there is an "open", public health travel doc modernization underway, it appears to be some kind of secret (ie not happening) despite INTENSE media interest. CON& #39;T https://twitter.com/Acculation/status/1245745084370505728">https://twitter.com/Acculatio...
4/So we would say that, despite all the media & think-tank interest in travel health doc modernization, @RANDCorporation @charles_ries @WSJ it appears not happening. Suggest @Delta CEO Ed Bastion ask @icao& other standards groups begin public "RFCs" &c for travel health doc work.
5/Per @alexandraphelan in @TheLancet gov& #39;t of Chile ( @ChileMFA) already has (paper?) health certificate for covid. Could Chile or @OAS_official plz submit this as draft int& #39;l standard to standards bodies @icao @isostandards &c so working group can form? https://twitter.com/MarionKoopmans/status/1257711137107390470">https://twitter.com/MarionKoo...
6/"Floated" w/ @CDCgov per these articles. CDC is in CAPSCA at @ICAO (&US also in #G20
https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">& #UNSC that are getting press heat for inaction) so could have @NIST submit draft int& #39;l standard to @isostandards (rather than asking Chile which per press is ahead on this). AND ISSUE PR.
7/Again, we checked with some of these standards bodies, and as far as can tell, no working groups or work have commenced. So in the present intense media environment, this isn& #39;t happening. (Without a press release, this standards work basically isn& #39;t happening).
8/Also as @EU_Commission leading #GlobalResponse&has own standards agency @Standards4EU to ask ISO &c to start a working group (&is also in #G20
https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">&UNSC that press has called on to act), we should also be asking the EU standards body #CEN (as NIST&CDC prob preoccupied w/ bleach&UV)
9/ @ID2020 so we& #39;ve corresponded directly with a # of standards orgs, & open standard "travel doc modernization" is obviously not happening despite the intense media interest, with possible exception of Chile for local use only (see this thread) https://twitter.com/GoodID/status/1252993062562942976">https://twitter.com/GoodID/st...
