AI Attestation working group
Specify a companion governance standard for agent identity, mandate issuance, and revocation atop ERC-8004. The group works at the intersection of on-chain identity standards and off-chain governance practice in regulated institutions, with a mandate to reconcile the two.
The Association is currently convening membership for this working group. Senior practitioners, academic researchers, regulators, and supervisors working in this area are invited to write to secretariat@boli.org with a short note on background and the open question they would most like to contribute to.

- 01
Is time-bounded gossip sufficient for revocation finality in production compliance use cases, or is a synchronous revocation channel required for a meaningful subset of actions?
- 02
How should mandates compose when an agent acts on behalf of another agent acting on behalf of a human principal? The delegation-depth question is unresolved.
- 03
What is the minimum attestation tuple that preserves audit reconstructability? Current candidates range from three fields to seven; the group leans toward five but has not settled.
