In a “GA4GH Namespace Discussion” telecon on 2019-08-22, initiated by GKS and with the participation of different work stream and project leads, it was agreed that newly generated identifiers created and maintained in the “GA4GH ecosystem” should use a general ga4gh prefix, and not create scoped prefixes.
For more information about CURIEs and their use in GA4GH schemas please visit the “identifiers and CURIEs” page.

One of the GA4GH conventions is to use CURIEs as (external) identifiers.
This is a maturing recommendation; please see also a previous discussion on Github, and the links from there.
