Anne, your background is impressive, and you’ve inspired me to reach out to the group. I’ve spent the better part of a decade privately developing and funding a federated runtime architecture for AI governance — built to preserve privacy, ensure auditability, and support human supervision over autonomous systems. Think of it as a DNS-like layer for federated intelligence, designed to align distributed actors without compromising sovereignty or context integrity. I’m reaching out to ask: * Are there members of this group working on similar architectures or standards-based frameworks around federated trust, privacy-preserving infrastructure, or AI accountability? * Are there active working groups, discussion forums, or policy-focused venues (beyond NANOG) where these conversations are happening at the infrastructure or protocol layer? If this is not the right venue for this kind of inquiry, I welcome the correction — and would appreciate any redirection you can offer. Thanks in advance for the thoughtful space this group provides.

The moment you put the point of child protection on the telco you open the telco up to all sorts of liability lawsuits. A stunningly bad idea. Anne -- Anne P. Mitchell, Esq.
