There is an index of partner organizations,[0] but I haven't had much luck with their people index,[1] which seems to present just the WEF website template without any content.
Indeed they've been very kind with releasing their agenda. :) Schwab's "The Great Reset" book is a roadmap for the next steps, and the WEF is following up with more media-friendly content regularly.[3]
I suspect that Schwab either is a very productive author who made excellent use of his lockdown time, or the Great Reset manuscript was sitting in his ghostwriter's desk, and just got "COVID-19" prepended to its title.
Also, re: the "neighborhood hubs". Really? These already existed, they were called, eh let me think -- neighborhoods. But yeah, I like your take on it as a "smart gulag", seems to capture the whole idea nicely.
I'm squinting really hard, but can't see any non-dystopian outcome. Sure, we'll put on a smile -- even with a mask on, it's a requirement, and the WiFi routers are ubiquitous, they're looking at us,[4] and they can tell when you're not smiling,[5] so we'll have to.
(OK, perhaps I'm stretching it with SENS being able to detect smiling, though apparently it does detect gestures.)
A modicum of good news: in a previous HN discussion of SENS, someone posted a couple of EU-funded research papers on technical countermeasures ("CSI murder" based on OpenWiFi), https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27133079
