Hi,

>
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.

Background:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/10/apple-google-coronavirus-us-app-privacy
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/10/apple-google-team-up-to-track-coronavirus-spread-using-iphone-android.html
etc.

Regards, Benoit
