Partnership and everything else
Collaborations, standards and policy work, press enquiries, teaching, and approaches that do not fit the other two routes.
Before you write
Standards and policy work is welcome, particularly where it touches AI security, operational technology, or the governance of autonomous systems.
Press enquiries: please say what the piece is, when it publishes, and whether you need attribution or background only.
Recruitment approaches are read but rarely answered, unless the role is specific and the note shows it was written for him.
Send it
Direct and secure channels
- Not published, to keep it out of the hands of address harvesters. The form above reaches the same person.
- PGP
- Public key, with its fingerprint, a way to check it against the mail provider rather than against this site, and the four commands that do the job. Encrypt to it and paste the whole block, header and footer lines included, into the form above. Keep the message under about two thousand words: a field holds twenty thousand characters and an encrypted block is larger than what it encrypts.
- Signal
- Available on request through the form.
- Profile on LinkedIn
What happens to what you send
Messages are stored in a private database, readable only by Mohd Atasha, and deleted automatically after one hundred and eighty days. Only the fields on the form are kept.
No cookies are set and no analytics are collected. Nothing you type here is sent to any third party: the form posts to this site and the message goes straight into its database.
One thing does leave. So that a message is not missed, an email service is told that an enquiry of this kind arrived, and when. It is not told your name, your address, your organisation, or any part of what you wrote. If the sensitivity of your enquiry makes even that insufficient, use PGP or Signal instead.
