What to include
Include the source or requirement, system or project, jurisdiction or region, domain and deployment context, requested outcome, timeline, and public documentation that would help route the inquiry.
Do not send personal data, protected evidence, security-sensitive records, or confidential incident materials by ordinary email before a suitable handling path is agreed.
Commercial services
Commercial product, deployment, or consulting inquiries belong with the relevant commercial provider, not the Foundation. Foundation contact does not create a standards, assessment, credential, funding, or partnership status.
