Re: KR Perspective on Agentic Standards Integration

Dear Paola,

Thank you for your interest, your motivation, and your offer to help: it 
is very much appreciated. As you said yourself, we are struggling with 
cognitive load and we lag a bit in responding to requests coming from 
many places, especially on these hot topics.

The agenda of next meeting is short (wrapping up the discussion on 
profiles that Danai could not finish last time) and can leave some space 
for you to present something if you would like to do so.

The Knowledge Representation approach for AI agents is clearly something 
that we are interested in and even would like to develop as part of the 
Web-based agents endeavour.

See you tomorrow, if you can join us for the regular meeting.

Best,
--AZ
