List-Id: "The list is for discussion of the scope, use cases, requirements, and solutions for discovery of entities (e.g., tasks, AI agents, or endpoints) using IETF technologies." <dawn.ietf.org>

For information, the IESG is currently reviewing a re-chartering of OAuth[1], which contains `Developing new mechanisms or/and extensions for authorization of automated agents working on behalf of users`

This is only remotely related to the DAWN BoF charter[2] as DAWN potential charter rightfully includes: `How agents register and authenticate their registration are also out of scope.` but I find it interesting that many IETF efforts are now in the direction of AI agents.
