Clive Smith succeeded founder Dakota Gruener as executive director in 2022.[1][2] The NGO was relatively unknown before being publicized because of [misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic](/source/Misinformation_related_to_the_COVID-19_pandemic) by conspiracy theorists. ## History ID2020 was founded by John Edge on June 27, 2014, after being inspired by a screening of [Meena](/source/Meena_(film)).[3] On August 10, 2015, Dr. Alicia Carmona published a blog post on [LinkedIn](/source/LinkedIn) seeking input from her colleagues with examples where "identification/identity is at the core of a community problem."[4] She noted that a new non-profit organization called Identification 2020 was soon to be formally launched.[5] On May 20, 2016, at the [United Nations Headquarters](/source/United_Nations_Headquarters) in New York, the inaugural ID2020 summit brought together over 400 people to discuss how to provide digital identity to all, a defined [Sustainable Development Goal](/source/Sustainable_Development_Goals) including to 1.5 billion people living without any form of recognized identification.[6][7] Experts in [blockchain](/source/Blockchain) and other cryptographic technology joined with representatives of technical standards bodies to identify how technology and other private sector expertise could achieve the goal.[8][9] The 2018 summit was held in September 2018, and focused on defining what constitutes a "good" digital ID. Sponsors for the event included the [United Nations](/source/United_Nations) Office of Information Communications Technology (OICT), [United Nations Refugee Agency](/source/United_Nations_Refugee_Agency), [International Telecommunication Union](/source/International_Telecommunication_Union) and the [Consulate General of Denmark](/source/Foreign_relations_of_Denmark) in [New York](/source/New_York_City).[10] In 2019, ID2020 started a new digital identity program in collaboration with the [government of Bangladesh](/source/Government_of_Bangladesh) and [Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization](/source/GAVI).[11] ## Mission ID2020 is a public-private consortium in service of the United Nations 2030 [Sustainable Development Goal](/source/Sustainable_Development_Goals) of providing legal identity for all people, including the world's most vulnerable populations.[12] ID2020 has published a ten-point mission statement, which includes: "We believe that individuals must have control over their own digital identities, including how personal data is collected, used, and shared."[13] ## Participants Organizations currently or formerly participating in the ID2020 initiative include:[12][14][15][16][17][18] - [500 Startups](/source/500_Startups) - [Accenture](/source/Accenture) - [Acumen Fund](/source/Acumen_Fund) - [Apne Aap](/source/Apne_Aap_Women_Worldwide) - Avanade - [Barclays](/source/Barclays) - [BlackRock](/source/BlackRock) - [Blockstack](/source/Blockstack) - [Bloomberg L.P.](/source/Bloomberg_L.P.) - [Bloq](/source/Bloq) - [BNY Mellon](/source/BNY_Mellon) - [Brigham Young University](/source/Brigham_Young_University) - [Capgemini Consulting](/source/Capgemini_Consulting) - [Care International](/source/Care_International) - [City of Austin, Texas](/source/City_of_Austin) - [Cisco Systems](/source/Cisco_Systems) - [Commonwealth Secretariat](/source/Commonwealth_Secretariat) - [Cornell University](/source/Cornell_University) - [Deloitte](/source/Deloitte) - [Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation](/source/Depository_Trust_%26_Clearing_Corporation) (DTCC) - [Digital Asset Holdings](/source/Digital_Asset_Holdings) - [Ernst & Young](/source/Ernst_%26_Young) - [Facebook](/source/Facebook) - [FHI 360](/source/FHI_360) - [Forbes](/source/Forbes) - [Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance](/source/Gavi%2C_the_Vaccine_Alliance) - [Global Fund for Women](/source/Global_Fund_for_Women) - [Google](/source/Google) - [Government of Estonia](/source/Government_of_Estonia) - [Grameen Foundation](/source/Grameen_Foundation) - [Hyperledger](/source/Hyperledger) - [IBM](/source/IBM) - [IDEO](/source/IDEO) - [Infosys](/source/Infosys) - [JPMorgan Chase](/source/JPMorgan_Chase) - [Kaiser Permanente](/source/Kaiser_Permanente) - [Kaye Scholer](/source/Kaye_Scholer) - [Kiva](/source/Kiva_(organization)) - [LexisNexis](/source/LexisNexis) - [Mastercard](/source/Mastercard) - [Mercy Corps](/source/Mercy_Corps) - [Microsoft](/source/Microsoft) - [MIT Media Lab](/source/MIT_Media_Lab) - [Nasdaq](/source/Nasdaq) - [National Cybersecurity Center](/source/National_Cybersecurity_Center) - [Okta](/source/Okta%2C_Inc.) - [Omidyar Network](/source/Omidyar_Network) - [Open Identity Exchange](/source/Open_Identity_Exchange) - [Plan International USA](/source/Plan_International) - [Privacy Commissioner for Bermuda](/source/Privacy_Commissioner_for_Bermuda) - [PricewaterhouseCoopers](/source/PricewaterhouseCoopers) - [Privacy Commissioner for Bermuda](/source/Privacy_Commissioner_for_Bermuda) - [PricewaterhouseCoopers](/source/PwC) (PwC) - [Rockefeller Foundation](/source/Rockefeller_Foundation) - [Simprints](/source/Simprints) - [United Nations International Computing Centre](/source/United_Nations_International_Computing_Centre) - [University of California, Berkeley](/source/University_of_California%2C_Berkeley) ## COVID-19 conspiracy theory [Conspiracy theorists](/source/Misinformation_related_to_the_COVID-19_pandemic) falsely alleged that ID2020 and [Bill Gates](/source/Bill_Gates) made plans for mandatory [COVID-19](/source/Coronavirus_disease_2019) [vaccination](/source/COVID-19_vaccine) and the [implantation of microchips](/source/Microneedle_drug_delivery) into patients' bodies.[19][20][21][22][23] As a result of these conspiracy theories, the staff at ID2020 received death threats.[24] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["ID2020 appoints ED to unite ecosystem around user-controlled digital ID"](https://www.biometricupdate.com/202207/id2020-appoints-ed-to-unite-ecosystem-around-user-controlled-digital-id). 14 July 2022. 1. **[^](#cite_ref-2)** ["ID2020 announces Clive Smith as new executive director"](https://web.archive.org/web/20230306065632/https://id2020.org/uploads/files/CliveSmithRelease_FINAL_071322.pdf) (PDF).
