Hello,

I am Ryan Nelson, author of draft-nelson-agent-delegation-receipts, an individual submission proposing a Delegation Receipt Protocol for AI agent authorization.

The draft’s append-only log component draws on transparency log principles relevant to SCITT’s work. Receipts are published to a tamper-evident chain-linked log before agent execution begins, providing independently verifiable evidence of authorization.
The draft is at datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-nelson-agent-delegation-receipts

I welcome any feedback from the group.

Ryan Nelson
