Hi guys, author here. The initial interest is being used to start conversations with immigration departments from small states around the world. Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the Netherlands already use a points-based system to grant visas for skilled workers. The idea is to create a standard international certification that would allow skilled migrants to move freely around countries that accept it, just like they do with TOEFL for the English language requirement.

I'd recommend you make your intentions a lot clearer. A simple front page with no explanation of what to expect combined with a single link to a cryptic manifesto page [1] isn't what I'd engage with.

Your ambitious phrasing makes it really hard to discuss in contexts like HN, people focus on the part where what you are talking about doesn't actually exist.

I would guess the political problem is a lot harder than the technical one. Zero sum thinking and all that.
