Hi,
Which leads me to a question: what can this community (and similar/adjacent ones) do productively together to help? What new things are happening on the network from which we can learn and quickly adapt/improve?
In my wish list, I would see this community helping with a COVID-19
contacts tracker:
- with clear specifications
- that respects the privacy concerns, for all parties
- in opensource, for everybodys 'review
- validated by the community
- with decentralized databases
- (limited in time, i.e. not becoming the new norm)
- ...
We can clearly see such a contacts tracker coming. I know that some
commercial companies could easily provide this but I would prefer that
such an effort would stem from a community, such as the IETF.
