Hi Mark, Tommy, and Mike, I wanted to briefly introduce myself and share context for my new draft: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-dhir-http-agent-profile/ I’m an independent researcher and student at Columbia Business School with a background in AI systems and engineering leadership, and I have been studying the challenges emerging from the rapid rise of autonomous agent traffic. My intent with HAP is to start a meaningful conversation around agent identity, human/agent distinction, and protocol-layer economic mechanisms, all within HTTP’s existing framework. As a first-time IETF contributor, I welcome any guidance you may have regarding direction, expectations, or alignment with the WG’s scope
