Davos 2020: The Categorised List of UK Attendees

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

From Goldman Sachs bankers to United Nations bureaucrats, delegates descended on Davos, Switzerland, for the 2020 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (“WEF”).  However, the WEF publicly released its list of attendees without names of participants and cited the European data-privacy law known as GDPR as the reason for doing so.

Anonymously, the information about attendees was submitted to Quartz who then published it in February 2020.  And the information received contained more detail on attendees than Quartz had ever seen and revealed, in ways never before disclosed, how the WEF catalogues and categorises the global “elites.”

Davos has a way of separating even the global “elite” into strata.  Participants’ relative importance is made known through the colour and design of their name badge. The hierarchy of attendees is also enumerated, with more nuance, in WEF’s databases. Participants are put into categories numbered from one to seven—an indication, of sorts, of how senior or perhaps important a delegate is to the business world.

Nearly every person attending is assigned one of these “position levels.” Those listed as ones are labelled things like “Top Executive” or “Head of State.” Twos are labelled in positions like “Senior Executives” and “Deputy Head of State.” Central bankers are level three. Level four includes country officials in a sub-ministerial post. Local government officials are level five. People in honorary positions are level six. Level seven is for those classified as “Functional Staff.”

There were only two leaders of international organisations labelled as “1-Head of Top IO” (for “international organization”). Those were António Guterres, the secretary-general of the UN, and Kristalina Georgieva, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund. Leaders of the WTO, NATO, and OECD were listed as “3-Head of IO/Deputy Head of Top IO.”

In all, 46% of 2020’s participants were listed as a ones, and 0.75% were sevens.

Filtering the list for the United Kingdom, there were 264 attendees on the list published by Quartz.  Below we have attached a list of these UK attendees.

Gordon Brown, who was UK prime minister from 2007 to 2010, was listed as “6-Public Sector Expert.”  Tony Blair, who preceded Brown and is now executive chairman of the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, was “1-Academia/Think-tank.” David Cameron, Brown’s successor, was “1-Top Executive” (he was at the forum as president of Alzheimer’s Research UK).

The current UK prime minister, Boris Johnson, was not on the list. He stayed away from Davos 2020 and banned most other ministers from attending, telling them they should be focused on delivering for the people of the UK.

However, Sajid Javid, the then Chancellor of the Exchequer and current Secretary of State for Health, did attend. He was designated as only mildly important “Level 3-Minister” by WEF. A lower designation than UK corporate media editors and journalists.

Yes, they are the ones too important to appear on a list.

We live in Germany and live by faith. I’d love to donate to the Daily Exposé, but I’m barely making enough to pay our bills. We collect deposit bottles to pay for the little food we buy. I earn a bit from freelance teaching jobs, my husband is unemployed – we don’t get Hartz-4, as we don’t believe in it. Dearly hope that you’ll get through this month – trusting that we will too.

We as unvaccinated were doing just fine until vaccine roll out started globally. Today, two thirds of Americans are unfortunately injected with mrna shots. Our loved ones are injected and so many people are asking me how to detox from the vaccines. Zinc, vitamin c and d is essential to give power our body to detox.
