Alignment with IETF AI Prefs - now and in the future

[paywalls-mike]

The RSL proposal leverages the IETF AI Preferences work, however that work is only in draft and still in progress.
The current RSL documentation differs from the current working draft of the AI Prefs - what is the plan regarding alignment with the current draft as well as how will RSL track (stay updated) as the AI Prefs work becomes final?

There is also a WG on bot auth that is at the "setting the charter" stage that would be good to align with

Agree. I jumped on that WG mailing list a week or so ago.
Overall, there are multiple initiatives across the industry, each with overlapping and slightly divergent approaches at various capabilities needed for a Web native 'payment protocol' - things like agent identity, terms and conditions (implicit or explicit), pricing (contractual, dynamic, etc).

I've started documenting what I see as the necessary capabilities and comparisons of the various approaches.
What's missing is a multi-group group with all participants (ie. from the publisher side and the AI side) to align on fundamental principles, needs and get to "rough consensus and working code".

That's something we will are working on though.
