How this standard came about
The authors and contributors have hundreds of years of combined senior level experience in the hospitality, travel, and technology industries.
Nearly two years of the work was conducted under the umbrella of the Decentralized Identity Foundation’s (DIF) Hospitality and Travel Special Interest Group, whose co-chairs are Nick Price and Gene Quinn, and then by its spinoff, the DIF Hospitality & Travel Working Group, which is co-chaired by Douglas Rice and Neil Thomson.
Primary authors and major contributors were Alex Bainbridge, Bill Carroll, Douglas Rice, and Neil Thomson.
Other significant contributors included Buddy Altus, Kabir Maiga, Gee Mann, Gene Quinn, Will Seggos, Makki Elfatih, and Aniket Upganlawar.
