Professional linking industry representation, interoperability design and trial engagement
Iain Corby
Iain Corby led stakeholder engagement for the Australian age-assurance trial through SafetyTech Ltd. The trial conflict register also identified his AVPA roles and euCONSENT secretary-general role. Separately, he is a credited author of the August 2024 AgeAware consultation specification.
Roles and exclusions
The register excluded Corby from testing age-assurance systems and from euCONSENT's submission process, restricting his trial role to stakeholder engagement. July 2025 minutes record an intention to review technical and vendor report parts B–J for consistency. The actual review and operative exclusion decision were not obtained. His AgeAware authorship is another dated contribution; the specification credits Alastair Graham and Ben Gower alongside him.
Commitment recorded July8,2025; not evidence of completed review.
Minutes record intended technical/vendor-section review. Completion and conflict-specific limits were not established. The conflict register restricts his role to stakeholder engagement as well as excluding system testing and euCONSENT submission. The operative scope and actual work need the exclusion decision and signoffs; breach is not established.
Work-package 3 lead through SafetyTech Ltd. Register excludes him from testing age-assurance systems and from euCONSENT's submission process; no failure of those safeguards established.
4. AgeAware proposed a market constitution, not just a token format
The acquired original is the AgeAware Specification Consultation Document, WP1 Business Requirements, version1.0, dated5 August2024, 25pages. Cover authors are Iain Corby, Alastair Graham (design authority pro tem) and Ben Gower (technical architect). PDF2's document-control table names T Allen of ACCS as the required approver and R Kiddle of ACCS as reviewer. The Action column identifies Approver/Reviewer; completion Date cells are blank and no signed approval is shown. It is an intended approval chain, not evidence that Allen signed or approved the final implementation. AVPA, Yoti, AgeChecked and VerifyMy are named proposed reviewers. The January9,2025 euCONSENT account subsequently says the three providers worked on detailed design; these are separate evidence states.
The missing public board sequence is now acquired. It documents responses, some changed procedures and retained limits. It also identifies a consequential boundary: Corby's declared exclusion covered testing and euCONSENT submission, while July minutes record his intention to review technical and vendor report sections. That is a question about the scope and operation of the exclusion, not proof of its breach.
