Comments Received:


#1 Fall Hill Associates

I vote YES, but with the strong caveat that this be carried out in close coordination with the SC17, WG3 and especially Task Force One of that WG. This group advises ICAO on the use of technologies, with a strong emphasis on biometrics, and has a five year history in border control applications for travel document standards. Therefore, I am assuming in my YES vote, that this forum will take advantage of the body of knowledge built over these years. I Chair Task Force One and have for its life, and I will be pleased to amplify on this comment if needed.

 

#2 Sagem Morpho

Proposal does not show how the project will be defined.

 

#3 U.S. DOT/Transportation Security Administration

The border crossing application of biometrics is both urgent and extremely important.  The DOT will also gain from the synergy of developing this application profile in parallel with the TWIC Profile (M1/02-0097). 

 

#4 Visionics

We support the development of an application profile for interoperability and data interchange.  However, we do not support the division of work into this border crossing-oriented proposal and the transportation workers-oriented proposal (ed. Project Proposal M1/02-0097).  We would vote yes for a single application profile that develops interchange formats for (a) applicant processing  (b) access control and (c) verification.  One project should aim to develop standards for continuity of authentication across these three applications.
