Selection of Health Authorities will be as per the standard app, with all HAs available for subscription, and recommendations/auto-subscriptions made based on location, rather than based on branding.
We won’t offer any means of pre-provisioning HAs, or restrcting access to other HAs.
Legal Issues
Who is our point person for legal? Lee Brody
...
Lee Brody working on including these requirements in the MOU, Schedule A.
My proposed language
Attached please find my lay person's attempt to describe what I think we would like our government partners to agree to. I will follow it with the relevant language from Apple's announcement and a link to its source.
Our partner organization must be a government organization (or another recognized entity "such as health-focused NGOs, companies deeply credentialed in health issues, and medical or educational institutions"). If they are not, we need a contact or partner in the relationship who is such a recognized entity.
This entity must be the legal owner of app store accounts on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
If the entity does not currently have such app store accounts provisioned, we will help the in one of the ways, based on their preference:
We will set up the accounts (and store listings) for them.
We will guide their IT staff in setting up these accounts and store listings.
The apps must be submitted to the stores by a developer affiliated with the entity's app store accounts. We have two methods for supporting this requirement:
One of our implementation developer accounts can be (temporarily) added to the entity's app store account in order to accomplish the required signing of the app code, uploading of the package, completion of the store listing metadata, submission for review, management of the review process (such as responding to questions from reviewers and resubmitting in case of fixes required by reviewers), release management, initial version updates during pilot periods, and training of ongoing IT staff of the entity to handle updates going forward.
We will guide their IT staff in the steps just enumerated.
The ask re handling submission officially
Ask: “Please ensure that legally we have a person who is submitting on behalf of the nation?
'Whatever whitelabel mvp we can create and help distribute, the app needs to legally be from the country we are supporting the app release from. So, we either need to support the country in creating account et et. Or we need to have some legal document that we can act on the nations behalf.””
