Meta-Layer Infra SIG

Building the civic layer of the Internet—where trust, presence, and sovereignty come alive above the page.

We are launching the world’s first Internet Society Special Interest Group (SIG) dedicated to the meta-layer—a shared civic substrate above the web. This is where overlays, semantic trails, and composable governance reshape how we experience and govern digital life.

Our Mission

The Meta-Layer SIG exists to prototype interface-level civic infrastructure for a trustworthy Internet. We believe the next leap in digital life won’t come from new platforms, but from a meta-layer that sits above them—where overlays, trust signals, and semantic trails transform the web into a shared civic space.

We are advancing the 21 Desirable Properties of a human-aligned Internet: privacy, sovereignty, transparency, free speech, regeneration, and collective intelligence.
