Foundation roadmap & upcoming disclosures

This page lists transparency and organizational items that are planned or under consideration, not current commitments with dates. It exists so visitors can distinguish what QIST publishes today from what may follow formal foundation formation and operational maturity.

For artifacts that are already in force, start at the Transparency Portal.

Upcoming — not yet in effect

Everything below is labeled upcoming. QIST Foundation is described on About as an independent initiative with plans to formalize as a nonprofit; until then, treat this page as intent and planning space only.

Transparency & accountability (upcoming)

  • Upcoming

    Funding sources & use of funds

    Public summary of how QIST is resourced and how funds support programs, governance, and infrastructure. Not yet published—timeline to be announced.

  • Upcoming

    Board composition & leadership

    Named oversight roles, affiliations, and renewal cadence suitable for a formal nonprofit. Not yet published—pending foundation formation milestones described on About.

  • Upcoming

    Partnerships & collaboration register

    Structured list of institutional relationships material to standards work, research, or reference implementations. Not yet maintained as a standalone public register.

  • Upcoming

    Public strategic roadmap

    Time-bound goals for research themes, artifact publication, and technology documentation. Not yet published as a single roadmap artifact.

Philanthropy & external profiles (upcoming)

  • Upcoming

    Donations & philanthropic channels

    If and when QIST accepts public donations, this site will document eligibility, use restrictions, and acknowledgment practices. No donation program is active at this time.

  • Upcoming

    Grants & fellowships accounting

    Summary reporting aligned with governance and transparency goals when grant programs scale beyond informal collaboration. Format and cadence are not yet defined.

  • Upcoming

    Third-party nonprofit profiles (e.g. Candid / GuideStar)

    External transparency profiles are under evaluation for after legal formation and audited reporting exist. No profile is claimed or linked yet.

Scientific direction — artificial intelligence (upcoming emphasis)

QIST already documents research on intelligent systems, AI safety, and agent-native programs (for example under Intelligent Systems & AI Safety and the AIOS program). Upcoming work may expand cross-cutting themes such as: rigorous evaluation of AI-assisted research workflows, tooling for formal methods and verification, governance of autonomous agents alongside post-quantum assumptions, and clearer publication of methodology when AI tools contribute to artifacts in the Knowledge repository.

No separate AI science roadmap is published yet; when priorities are fixed, they will appear as technical notes, governance proposals, or explicit roadmap artifacts linked from this page and the Knowledge repository.
