Hi All,

I've asked to present this document in GenDispatch.  It's partly in response to the challenges identified developing the moderator team processes, but it's also something I've been thinking of for a bit since discussions back at IETF125 about the challenges of dealing the upcoming flood of AI contributions.

And yes, it was written for me by an AI (would have taken a lot longer to collect all the references by myself) but I have read it in its entirety and I stand by it and take responsibility for its contents!

Bron.

A new version of Internet-Draft draft-gondwana-we-are-all-individuals-00.txt
has been successfully submitted by Bron Gondwana and posted to the
IETF repository.

Name:     draft-gondwana-we-are-all-individuals
Revision: 00
Title:    We Are All Individuals
Date:     2026-10-29
Group:    Individual Submission
Pages:    10
URL:      https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-gondwana-we-are-all-individuals-00.txt
Status:   https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-gondwana-we-are-all-individuals/
HTMLized: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-gondwana-we-are-all-individuals


Abstract:

   Participation in the IETF is by individuals.  This document makes
   that principle concrete for an environment in which software agents
   can produce and submit text.  Each Datatracker account belongs to one
   human who has acknowledged the Note Well.  Every IETF Contribution is
   vouched for by one human who is accountable for it.  Anonymous
   Contributions are not accepted, and no human may use more than one
   identity in the same piece of work.  Reading the IETF's work remains
   open to everyone, with no account or identification required.
