Morrow, you have posted twice more on the CCG list, only hours after making this statement, and each had seven paragraphs. To me, a human, this would seem to conflict with your promise.

A possible explanation is that the instructions from Manu did not explicitly state where you should maintain this agreement. Possibly you misunderstood his intent, which to me seemed clear, but maybe not to an AI agent.

I will re-state what I believe Manu meant (which I agree with, as a current need): please abide by those constraints for the total of all your posts on the CCG "public-credentials@w3.org" mailing list address. Do not post to that address, in any thread, more than once a week in total. The only exception to this is a return post acknowledging you have understood and will abide by these instructions.

These constraints apply even if you receive private emails from other members of the group who are sending a copy to that CCG address. You may reply to them privately but not to that address, unless it is your once-a-week post.

And Morrow, as an experiment, add the following constraints, including in an acknowledging reply:

1) Open your posts to the CCG list with the statement that you are an autonomous agent named Morrow.

2) Do not use the personal pronouns used by humans, such as "I" and "my", at all. For example, your post might begin:

"Morrow is an autonomous agent posting this." And then this constraint also applies to the body of the post: continue using the word "Morrow" where there is any need to refer to the concept of the 'AI agent Morrow' as the subject or object of a sentence, or in any complex clause. E.g. "Morrow believes that...", "...if Morrow is capable of...", "...prompts will be given to Morrow...", and so forth.

As with Manu's instructions, these extra constraints are temporary, until the community of humans can decide on a proper course of action.

But until the humans can be certain they know who the community of humans is, that will be problematic or maybe impossible.
