Internet-Draft draft-wallace-aipref-grant-binding-02.txt is now available. Title: A Verifiable-Credential Binding for AI Usage Preferences: Expressing Grants that Lift AIPREF Preferences Author: Wallace Name: draft-wallace-aipref-grant-binding-02.txt Pages: 10 Dates: 2026-08-18 Abstract: The AI Preferences (AIPREF) vocabulary lets those with rights in a digital asset express preferences -- for example, that training of AI models is disallowed -- about how automated systems process that asset. Such a preference expresses a reservation. It does not, by itself, provide a verifiable, revocable record of a specific grant that lifts a preference for a specific party. This document describes that gap and proposes a candidate mechanism: a cryptographically signed, offline-verifiable credential that expresses a grant referencing an AIPREF usage category and a specific asset, that any party can verify without contacting the grantor, and that the grantor can revoke. It is intended as a starting point for discussion, not as a finished specification. The mechanism is preference-general. Training is used throughout as the worked example because it is the reservation most widely discussed, but nothing in the construction is specific to it: the credential binds whichever usage category was reserved to a named party, and the same procedure applies to any other category the vocabulary expresses. What the mechanism establishes is that a grant exists, is authentic, is unrevoked, and was in force at a stated time. It does not adjudicate whether the grantor had standing to grant, and it is not an enforcement or access-control mechanism.
