Abstract:

   Authorization artifacts can provide signed evidence of a permission
   under specified authorization rules.  Receipts can record a signed
   claim or protocol event that the authorization was exercised, and
   outcome evidence can describe what followed.  None of those artifacts
   necessarily tells a person or organization affected by the action
   where the authorization can be contested, which procedure applies,
   whether a filing changes execution state, or who selected the
   contestation forum.

   This document defines a transport-independent Contestability Binding
   for authorized agent actions.  The binding commits an authorization
   to a versioned Contestation Parameters Object that identifies the
   forum, submission mechanism, Standing Policy, procedure, time bounds,
   declared effect policy, and selection evidence.  A forum can
   acknowledge one exact authorization or publish a reusable acceptance
   manifest for closed Authorization Binding Profile and Authorization
   Trust Profile digest pairs.  A deterministic verifier validates the
   binding, separately classifies evidence claiming pre-execution
   verification by the executor, and reports forum-selection provenance
   as unilateral, multiparty, externally selected, or indeterminate.
   Where a filing is declared to affect execution state, the verifier
   also separates the issuer's declared policy, the executor's signed
   acceptance, the authenticated trigger, and the executor's claimed
   application.

   The mechanism makes the bound contestation parameters identifiable
   and verifiable, supporting discoverability while resisting post-
   action substitution.  It does not determine standing, prove forum
   independence, resolve a dispute, select a remedy, establish legal
   enforceability, or decide whether the original authorization was
   legitimate.
