Approach
Dialogue becomes evidence.
The forum’s work follows one path, kept visible on this site.
Contributions are recorded
Evidence is referenced by organisational role, not by name, so that practitioners can speak candidly.
Two final publications
Global Digital Foundation synthesised each track into a publication: the Assurance Manual and AI-era Vulnerability Management.
Working groups carry on
Two working groups keep the forum’s themes moving between gatherings, sharing expert insight on assurance and AI-era vulnerability management.
Attribution
No speaker or organisation is named in the manual’s body text. Evidence is referenced by organisational role or accredited laboratory type. The assurance ladder is a synthesis by Global Digital Foundation, not an endorsement or consensus of any participant.
About / Working Groups
Two areas of ongoing work.
Each working group is described by its purpose, scope and the publication it builds on.
Assurance Working Group

- Assurance evidence and evaluation

AI-era Vulnerability Management Working Group

Members are not listed. Institutional associations appear only once a group has confirmed them publicly.
Planned
Where the community goes next
Taking the publications to HCE, developing a Blueprint around MWC 2027, and a next gathering in France in June 2027. The HCE step is confirmed; the Blueprint and the France gathering are still unconfirmed.
