Standards citation moat

Be cited, not merely published.

A protocol becomes real when other documents refer to it. VRX-1 should be submitted, mapped, compared, and cited across AI risk, digital identity, cybersecurity, media provenance, legal ethics, and records governance conversations.

Engagement tracks

AI governance

NIST-style mapping

Map VRX-1 receipts to AI risk management, accountability, human review, and documentation controls.

Digital identity

EUDI and wallet adjacency

Clarify that PlenaProof complements wallets by adding refusal, review, human accountability, and issuer context.

Credentials

W3C VC and Open Badges adjacency

Show where VRX-1 cites, wraps, or complements credentials without replacing credential standards.

Content provenance

C2PA adjacency

Position human authorship and reviewer receipts beside media provenance manifests.

Legal ethics

Bar association notes

Explain AI agent authorization, human review, refusal records, and client consent receipts.

Records governance

Archivists and registrars

Make the protocol legible to the people who maintain long-term institutional truth.

Submission ladder

1

Public mapping note

Publish a short comparison note: VRX-1 plus C2PA, W3C VC, Open Badges, EUDI-style wallets, audit trails, and notarial systems.

2

Community contribution

Submit a practical implementation note to relevant AI governance and standards communities.

3

Professional ethics brief

Send a bar, academic, or records-association note on AI agent authorization and refusal receipts.

4

Case evidence citation

Use one pro-bono case or administrative matter to make the idea legible to practitioners.
