The governance-layer coordinate for AI protocol standards.
A precise meta-category compound: 'protocol' as the foundational rule-set for agent communication, and 'gov' as the governance frame — an exact coordinate for the systems that set, enforce, and evolve AI protocol standards.

Why this is canonical
As agent protocols proliferate (MCP, A2A, and emerging standards), the governance of those protocols — who sets the rules, how they evolve, how compliance is enforced — becomes a distinct and critical layer. This string names that layer precisely on the agent-era TLD, making it a natural home for protocol governance bodies, standards efforts, or platforms that manage protocol compliance.
