The OCM protocol has recently introduced a groundbreaking feature known as the "invitation workflow," designed to enhance the discovery of users across diverse institutions. This innovative approach, while effective in facilitating discoverability, is currently dependent on a singular directory of trusted sites.

Drawing inspiration from the proven practices of email protocols over the past decades, this presentation will delve into the realm of possibilities for elevating discoverability. Our exploration will focus on leveraging DNS records, not only for trusted networks but also for public OCM workflows. We aim to redefine and optimize the user discovery process, ensuring a more robust and adaptable solution for seamless inter-institutional communication..
