Yes, I take note of your update. I think Mark has also been doing some testing so it makes total sense to have an update so we can decide if the RFC should be opened.</div>

<br>
Dear IVOA Community and DSP members,<br>
<br>
The next IVOA Interoperability Meeting will take place in Perth from 06 to 08 November 2026, with remote participation also expected to be supported.<br>
<br>
As chairs of the Distributed Services and Protocols (DSP) Working Group, we would like to invite contributions to the DSP sessions at this meeting.<br>
DSP focuses on interoperability across distributed astronomical services, including areas such as:<br>
<br>
* Authentication, authorization, and credential delegation<br>
* Workflow description, execution, and provenance<br>
* Data access, user areas, and data interchange<br>
* Standardised execution interfaces and APIs<br>
*<br>
Cloud and container-based deployments and interoperability<br>
<br>
This time and following the ADASS themes, we will also include discussions on protocols and standards required for AI supported systems.<br>
<br>
We welcome contributions covering:<br>
<br>
* Implementations and deployments of distributed services and protocols<br>
* Experiences using or developing relevant standards<br>
* Updates on ongoing standards or proposals within DSP scope<br>
* Demonstrations of interoperable use cases in astronomy<br>
*<br>
Discussions on challenges and future directions<br>
<br>
If you would like to present, please send us:<br>
<br>
* Your name<br>
* A tentative title<br>
*<br>
A short abstract (optional but recommended)<br>
<br>
If you are unsure whether your topic fits, or if this is your first contribution, feel free to contact us—we are happy to help shape your proposal.<br>
We look forward to an engaging and productive DSP session in Perth.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Jesus Salgado & Sara Bertocco<br>
