338 R. Vecellio Segate and supporting potential introducers in nomadic contexts can be exemplified at even the simplest level of domestic nomadism: homelessness. In India, when local NGOs started to act as introducers and sought to onboard homeless individuals, they realised (Rao and Greenleaf 2013, 294) that their effort had become an advantage for more stationary homeless people with permanent sleeping places. The sedentary citizens of Delhi’s streets proceeded to gain a new identity that resulted from negotiations between bodies and machines. Yet more mobile populations either missed the survey or could not be traced after they had left the recorded location. Enrolment proved to be difficult. Even domestically, it is (unpredictable) mobility that makes it challenging to recruit appropriate introducers. Introducers themselves, from a legal liability standpoint, grow increasingly anxious about introducing thousands of individuals they might have barely met once, and whose conduct and intentions they feel they cannot genuinely vouch for – both prior to the process and upon successful introduction (Singh and Jackson 2021, 11–12). Releasing introducers from liability would likely boost the risk of corruption, but the current state of affairs obviously defeats the entire (declared) purpose of Aadhar, built on inclusion (Dixon 2017, 547–548; Sen 2019, 2). How could technical standards soften this tension? First, they could be devised to enable identity validation from previously enrolled homeless individuals from the same areas: mobile homeless people tend to share information about itineraries and, with that, about where they come from and potentially who they are. This might help enroll subsequent people from the same communities. Second, in order to rebalance introducers’ own liability, the onboardees should accept the burden of having their movements tracked over a “probationary phase”, to make sure that their reported habits and roots are more trustworthy. Having these trajectories and narratives matched by human operators on a very large scale would probably overburden the system, so that algorithms should be designed to map narrated trajectories and match them with the actual habits of the onboardees during probation as retrieved from the tracking technology. Of course, these procedures should remain voluntary for any homeless individual, and exclusively aimed at making remote identity onboarding more transparent and efficient for all parties. 7.2 Digital Nomadism Ignited by the COVID-19’s pandemic lifestyle, digital nomadism is normalising even in reportedly remote and Internet-poor lands such as Papua New Guinea. Digital nomads are not too much of a concern for public authorities, in that they live on their
