This meeting focused on the relationship between the ANP
implementation and the CG protocol draft, including the DID-WBA
authentication flow, bearer-token reuse, agent identity, trust
evidence, and DID lifecycle management.

Participants discussed how agents discover one another before
establishing a connection. The group recommended separating discovery
from flows that assume a known remote-agent URL and considering prior
work such as IEEE 802.11u, Passpoint, and ANQP.

The discussion also covered relay-based messaging, end-to-end
encryption, cross-domain communication, and coordination with related
IETF work on identity, discovery, and authorization.
