Revised Declaration of Principles for Post-Detection SETI Activities: Updates Presented at IAC 2025 (arXiv:2510.14506)

To the point

An IAA SETI Committee framework tells humanity how to respond if we detect intelligent life, starting with a 1989 Declaration (with a 1995 draft and 2000 UN COPUOS input), refreshed in 2010, reexamined in 2022, and now a living Revised Declaration by Michael A. Garrett, Kathryn Denning, Leslie I. Tennen, and Carol Oliver, presented at IAC 2025 (Paper 99704) and described in arXiv:2510.14506 to fit today’s fast-changing research world.
