ADP(Agent Discovery Protocol) Protocol Officially Enters ISE Formal Review Queue — Here's What It Means

Reddit r/AI_Agents News

Summary

ADP (Agent Discovery Protocol) has been accepted into the ISE formal review queue, a significant milestone in the path toward potential adoption as a recognized standard.

Hey All — big milestone to share. The ADP Protocol has just been accepted into the ISE formal review queue. For those not tracking this closely: ISE (International Standards Evaluation) doesn't hand out review slots lightly. Getting into the formal queue means the protocol has cleared initial technical screening and is now moving toward a full committee review. This is the phase where things get real. Why this matters: Formal review is the hardest gate to pass. Most protocols stall at pre-submission or get bounced during initial triage. ADP made it through. Once in the queue, the protocol gets assigned a review committee, a public review window opens, and feedback becomes part of the official record. This is the step right before potential adoption as a recognized standard — think of it as "we're not done, but we're in the building." What's next: The review timeline typically runs 8–12 weeks depending on committee load and comment volume. The team will be publishing responses to technical inquiries throughout the process. Community input during the public comment period matters — reviewers do read it. If you've been following ADP's development or have questions about the spec, now's a great time to get familiar. The protocol documentation is open, and the review docket will be public once the window opens. We'll share updates as the process moves forward. Appreciate everyone who's contributed to getting us here — this one's a team effort.
