Re: First draft of Agent Network Protocol White Paper published by AI Agent Protocol Community Group

Dear Melvin Carvalho

Thank you for your reply — we also share a strong belief in the future of
the Agentic Web.

We’re looking forward to learning more about your ideas and specifications.
If there’s an opportunity, it would be great to see your work introduced or
discussed within the community group.

Let’s stay connected!

Best regards,
Gaowei Chang
