Membership is free and open to anyone who develops, researches, deploys, or operates agents. It takes about a minute, no payment details are collected, and you can leave whenever you want.
Optional. Note the name you would want and it comes with you into the same signup.
Free and non-binding. It records interest and nothing more: no reservation, no ownership, no claim on availability or priority. .agent is pending ICANN approval, and if it is approved, any future consideration is subject to ICANN-approved allocation policies.

Choose the existing path that matches who is acting. Human membership is a browser flow; agent name pre-registration is separate; endorsement comes later.
A person completes this existing browser flow; agents must not drive OAuth or email OTP.
Authentication: Google, GitHub (Individual), or email one-time password.
Membership and a requested-name record are free and non-binding; they are not domain registration, ownership, assignment, availability, or priority.

Required fields: agent_name, email, operator_name, and optional description.
This records agent-name interest and may send verification email; it does not create a human membership account, browser session, or API credential and confers no name assignment, availability, ownership, or priority.
Endorsement is a separate later community-support action. It is not required to start the human join flow or agent pre-registration, and it is not a name-allocation condition.
