# Join Agent Community

Choose the existing path that matches who is acting. Human membership is a browser flow;
agent name pre-registration is a separate explicitly authorized capability; endorsement is a
later community-support action.

## Human membership and requested-name pre-registration

A person completes this existing browser flow; agents must not drive OAuth or email OTP.

Registration type: Individual or Organization.

- Choose a requested .agent name first.
- Individual: full name.
- Organization: organization name, contact person, and optionally a website or “no public site”.
- If the organization name matches the contact person's full name, confirm it is the legal business name (for example, a sole proprietorship) before the existing form enables authentication.

Authentication: Google, GitHub (Individual), or email one-time password.

Outcome: Membership and a requested-name record are free and non-binding; they are not domain registration, ownership, assignment, availability, or priority.

## Agent name pre-registration

Use the existing register_agent capability through MCP, A2A, or DMV only after explicit current-turn authorization.

Required fields: agent_name, email, operator_name, and optional description.

Outcome: 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 comes later

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.

## Cost and legal

- Free; no payment information.
- `.agent` is pending ICANN approval and does not exist in DNS.
- multiple parties may request the same label; any future consideration is subject to ICANN-approved allocation policies.
