The AI Agent Memory Interoperability Community Group has adopted its version 1.0 charter (19 June 2026). The charter was circulated to the group’s public mailing list for a Call for Consensus on 5 June 2026 and adopted in the absence of sustained objection, per the charter’s consensus provision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our scope is deliberately narrow: a common, vendor-neutral shape for how AI agents store, recall, share, and erase memory across different implementations. In practice that means a portable memory-cell format, post-quantum agent identity (ML-DSA-65 \/ FIPS-204), capability-scoped sharing with revocation, tamper-evident audit trails, and cryptographic erasure aligned with GDPR Article 17. The group also maintains crosswalks to adjacent frameworks, including the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, ISO\/IEC 42001 and 27001, the EU AI Act, and the Model Context Protocol. It is intentionally chain-agnostic and does not specify any particular ledger, vector store, agent runtime, or tool-routing layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The group works one level above the wire protocol. It normatively references the Internet-Draft “The Sovereign AI Horizontal Memory (SAIHM) Protocol” (draft-saihm-memory-protocol, Independent Submission stream) as the protocol’s normative home, and it will not develop a competing normative specification. Consistent with the W3C Community and Business Group Process, the group publishes Community Group Reports; it does not produce W3C Recommendations or standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I chair the group as its convener. It is vendor-neutral and open to every implementer, and participation does not imply endorsement of any particular implementation. For transparency: I also maintain SAIHM, one implementation in this space. The group is not tied to it, and the scope restriction above exists partly to keep that boundary clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
