UMA WG restarting: meeting Nov 19, 1 PM ET (UMA for Agents)
Hi all, The UMA Work Group is restarting regular meetings. The new focus is UMA for Agents (u4a): using UMA to let AI agents request, be granted, and carry delegated access on behalf of people and organizations. First meeting: Thursday, Nov 19 at 1:00 PM ET Join: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/86700230899?pwd=B5bAs1V9Mkku2js0TvuruLhB8d70z3.1 Agenda 1. Nick Gamb to present the u4a idea and give a demo. - Spec drafts: https://github.com/nickgamb/uma4agents/tree/main/spec - Project site: https://u4a.ai/ 2. Discussion: our goal of bringing the u4a specs and work into Kantara, so they are developed and maintained here in the WG. 3. Next steps: cadence, owners, and how we handle contributions. If you have time, skim the spec folder before the call. You don't need to prepare anything else. Please forward this to anyone who works on UMA, OAuth, or agent authorization and would want to take part. If you can't make it but want to be kept in the loop, reply and I'll add you to the follow-ups. Thanks, Alec Alec Laws CTO Engineering | IDENTOS Inc.

Hi Alec, Regrets, I am at a conference in NY, I would also like to see how the ANCR work might support the UMA flow, perhaps, as a trial balloon, at the start of the flow.
