Working Group IV should conduct work on legal issues relating to 
identity management and trust services, with a view to preparing a text 
aimed at facilitating cross-border recognition of identity management 
and trust services. Neither the Commission nor the Working Group have 
taken a decision concerning the form of any instrument to be developed. 
To facilitate the work of the Working Group, the UNCITRAL Secretariat 
has drafted ``Draft Provisions on the Cross-border Recognition of 
[Identity Management] and Trust Services'' (UN Doc. A/CN.9/WG.IV/
WP.157), available at https://undocs.org/en/A/CN.9/WG.IV/WP.157, and

Recognition of Identity Management and Trust Services'' (UN Doc. A/
