Registered Traveller: A Path to Technology and Policy Convergence?

To create convergence between registered traveller programs, we must leverage knowledge from existing programs, international standards bodies, and organizations (TABD platform, ITA, SITA, etc)
Pilot programs should be used to demonstrate how countries can find process convergence among their varying technology and policy choices (US-EU pilot, for example)
Over the longer term, should we push convergence in the technological platforms and policy end-goals in programs such as visa waiver, international registered traveller, US-visit, etc? This will raise important questions about the meaning of RT and about passenger processing overall.
