AI Summary

I'd like an update on C2PA's commitment to providing identity as enabled through the CAWG as in integral component of C2PA's initial deployment. What efforts are being made with equipment and service vendors? As many journalistic news organizations, like our own, would agree - identity must be a core component of initial C2PA deployments, even if it is not a required component of the C2PA spec. Without this, C2PA will likely not live up to the expectations that have grown around it. While many journalistic organizations are working with CAWG, robust and early implementation of C2PA + Identity will need active and enthusiastic cooperation and support of C2PA. What effort is C2PA making now to both support CAWG and meet these significant expectations.
