 These projects are developed in the open. We intend to propose them to recognized open standards bodies; we're inviting the ecosystem to shape them:
 
-- **TRACE**: we intend to submit it to the **Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under the Linux Foundation**, where OPAQUE is a member and participates in the Observability and Traceability working group. The submission has not been filed yet; this page will name the date when it is. Founding co-editor seats are open now.
+- **TRACE**: going to the **Linux Foundation as its own series**, "TRACE Specification, a Series of LF Projects, LLC". Formation is in progress with the LF standards team; governance has been brought into the shape LF requires ([trace-spec#127](https://github.com/agentrust-io/trace-spec/pull/127)). This supersedes the earlier plan to co-host under CoSAI or under the LF entity hosting MCP. Founding co-editor seats are open now.
 - **Agent Manifest**: we intend to submit it through CoSAI under OASIS Open, building on CoSAI Workstream 4.
 - **AGT (Agent Governance Toolkit)**: the runtime governance engine this stack builds on, created by Imran Siddique (Chief Platform Officer, OPAQUE) while at Microsoft and released under the MIT license: [microsoft/agent-governance-toolkit](https://github.com/microsoft/agent-governance-toolkit).

 ## TRACE — the envelope that ties it together
 
-TRACE (Trust Runtime Attestation and Compliance Evidence) is the portable governance record at the center of the stack: a single attestation envelope (EAT/JWT, per the IETF RATS model) that **carries the other standards' evidence** — build provenance (SLSA), workload identity (SPIFFE SVID), model inventory (AIBOM), a cryptographic bill of materials (CBOM — the crypto libraries and algorithms in use), and the agent's tool-call transcript — cryptographically bound and anchored in an append-only transparency log. One verifiable record that proves **what an agent was** and **what it did**, reconstructable after the fact and confirmable by a party with no reason to trust the operator. Open spec; we intend to submit it to AAIF.
