	 <t>   Autonomous software agents increasingly act on behalf of human
   principals by invoking tools, services, and other agents, frequently
   across organizational boundaries.  Existing workload and token-based
   authorization mechanisms were designed for a single trust domain and
   a small number of delegation hops.  They do not adequately express,
   constrain, or verify authority that is delegated recursively among
   agents and that crosses the boundary between independently
   administered organizations.  This document describes the problem of
   cross-organizational agent delegation, identifies the gaps in current
   mechanisms, and enumerates requirements that any solution within the
   scope of the Workload Identity in Multi-System Environments (WIMSE)
   working group should satisfy.  It does not specify a solution.
