Contribution : ​The COVID-19 pandemic, which led to the social distance and isolation regime in many countries, had a great influence on the daily lives of people and contributed to the emergence and introduction of new ICT services at the global level. "Best practice" in use of ICT solutions based on the Internet is presented in attached document. Taking into account the international nature of ITU activities, we would like to focus on the international service tracking of cross-border trips "Travel without COVID-19". Such service, as well as many other transborder COVID-Tech applications require global coordination of security issues and reliable user’ authentication. In this regard, we would like to recommend ITU to consider the possibility of acting as a Global platform and coordinator of international authentication system and the Global cyber security center, and for this purpose organize the development of international public policies related to these aspects within the Union. At the same time, it necessary to create effective international interaction mechanisms within ITU, allowing developing countries to access advanced digital solutions and technologies, technical assistance to implement them and strengthen personnel potential.
