Thank you for your interest in the work of the Agent Auth (AAuth) Working Group.
Here are some important resources:
- The charter sets out the group's scope, deliverables, and schedule
- The OpenID Foundation Process Document defines how working groups operate and how specifications progress from Implementer's Draft to Final Specification
- Join the mailing list to follow the group's announcements and discussions
- Found a problem, or have a proposal? Raise it in the issue tracker of the specification's repository, or in this repository's issue tracker for drafts not yet adopted and for the working group itself
- The chairs can be contacted at openid-specs-aauth-owner@lists.openid.net
- resources.md links to the contributed drafts, implementations, and related work
You must sign the OpenID Foundation's IPR Contribution Agreement before contributing. This includes filing issues, opening pull requests, and posting to the mailing list, not just contributing text.

All participants in the working group's activities, including meetings, the mailing list, and this repository, are expected to follow the OpenID Foundation's Code of Conduct.
Each adopted specification has its own repository under the openid organization. This repository holds the charter and information about the working group.
The AAuth Working Group is agent native, and agents take its meeting notes. An AI note-taking service creates the notes for each meeting. The working group will start with Granola, and may later use a similar service. The chairs review the notes before they are published in minutes/ and on the mailing list. Each set of minutes states which service created it. Transcripts are not published. Corrections can be sent to the mailing list.
This is proposed for decision at the working group's first meeting on November 30, 2026.
- Search the existing issues before opening a new one, and keep each issue to a single topic
- Where possible, propose concrete text
- Editorial fixes (typos, broken links, formatting) can be submitted directly as pull requests
- Reference the issue a pull request resolves in its description
Thanks,
AAuth Working Group
