The Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) has established the vLEI Technical Advisory Board, a cross-industry body providing technical, governance and developmental support to the growing stakeholder ecosystem.
The board will be chaired by GLEIF’s head of IT Christopher Schneider, and consist of technology experts at global organisations, including Accelerate GmbH, esatus, healthKERI, Provenant, and Prosapien.
Meeting monthly, the vLEI Technical Advisory Board aims to facilitate ecosystem growth by supporting the system’s scalability and technical interoperability, promoting related use cases, participating in pilot projects, building partnerships, and strengthening ties with the open-source community.
The board will also engage with key technical stakeholders, representing governments, businesses, and non-profit organisations, to better understand their needs.
Alexander Kech, the CEO of GLEIF, says: “The vLEI enhances the LEI ecosystem by providing an open, reliable, and highly scalable digital cross-border entity identification solution.”
He adds: “We have assembled the vLEI Technical Advisory Board to provide this new ecosystem with the best possible chance of succeeding. By connecting the experts and creating the partnerships that will evolve the vLEI's supporting infrastructure, we aim to establish this system as the fundamental enabler of digital trust across the many value chains that underpin our global economy."
