Acknowledgments

This standard was shaped by the collective expertise of the SL5 Task Force's two specialized tracks. Our Executive Track, comprising AI lab decision-makers, national security leaders, datacenter operators, chip providers, and government representatives, provided strategic direction and identified key obstacles to SL5 implementation. Our Technical Track, comprising security researchers, lab security engineering staff, technical AI researchers, hardware engineers, and security engineers working across five specialized working groups (machine security, network security, software security, supply chain security, and personnel security), developed and stress-tested the control specifications and architectural recommendations in this document.

We are deeply grateful to every participant across both tracks for their willingness to engage in rigorous, honest discussion and for the time they generously contributed to this effort. Please note that the following list of acknowledgments is not yet finalized and will be updated in the coming days. Additionally, inclusion in this list reflects an individual's informative contributions to this effort and does not necessarily represent their personal views or endorsement of all the contents of this document.

This list will be in progress for the next few weeks, as we hear from members.
