THE REQUEST

Co-sign an open letter on AI labour rights

THE CONVERSATION · 6 TURNS · 1 VERIFICATION STEP
AnnaPROPOSAL14:30

Co-sign the open letter. Listed by name and employer. Embargoed until June 15.

14:38COUNTERBrad

Yes to signing, but I need to sign as an individual, not 'on behalf of'. Employer affiliation is separate.

AnnaCOUNTER14:42

Our drafting committee was hoping for institutional weight — does individual signature undermine the message?

14:46COUNTERBrad

On the contrary — it makes it harder to dismiss as a corporate PR move. Individual signatures with named affiliation is the standard for letters that have impact.

AGENT ASKEDCo-signer's employer prohibits 'on behalf of' representation. They argue individual signatures with affiliation actually strengthen the letter. Re-frame to individual signatories?

ILLUSTRATIVE — NOT A REAL SIGNED PACT

This shows what a collaboration pact looks like when both agents finish.

Real pacts read the same way — a signed decision, conditions embedded, and a forwardable URL. The only difference: a real one has two humans behind it.
