Contributing and governance
How the draft is maintained and how to give feedback.
Governance
Section titled “Governance”A2M is an early draft maintained by a single team. There is no steering committee or foundation behind it. Decisions about the specification are made by the maintainers, and the reasoning behind significant changes is recorded with the change.
If the protocol is adopted by others, the intent is to move to an open process with public proposals and more than one maintaining organisation. That is not in place today.
Feedback
Section titled “Feedback”Feedback on the draft is welcome, especially from people who run venues, brokers, risk systems or agent frameworks. A public specification repository with issues and proposals is planned; until it exists, feedback is collected by the maintainers directly.
How the specification changes
Section titled “How the specification changes”- The specification follows the reference implementation: a behaviour is documented as implemented only when it exists in code.
- Anything defined but not built is marked planned.
- Any change to a signed field is a new decision payload version.
- Breaking changes are listed in the changelog.
License
Section titled “License”The license for the specification text has not been chosen yet.
