- A draft protocol for replying to extraterrestrial signals was prepared in 1995.
- The IAA SETI Committee established a Task Group in 2022 to re-examine protocols due to advances in search methodologies and international participation.
- A revised Declaration of Principles was presented at the IAC 2024 in Milan and refined based on community feedback.
