Section 1 — Estonia
No new relevant, non-duplicate source was found; older government project pages and previously covered announcements recurred, and a recent crawl date was not treated as a publication date (source: 2026-10-09-ai-agent-identity-news.md). No change to estonia-ai-agent-id.

United Kingdom: ICO evidence gathering on agentic-AI accountability
ICO consultation opened 8 October 2026 (deadline 20 November 2026); MLex reporting published 8 October 2026, 10:16 GMT. Sources: ICO call for evidence (primary), ICO Citizen Space response portal (primary), MLex (secondary; full text paywalled) (source: 2026-10-09-ai-agent-identity-news.md).
This is the same ICO consultation recorded in 2026-10-08-ai-agent-identity-news; the 9 October report adds the Citizen Space portal and MLex corroboration and counts them as new because they post-date the previous report’s cutoff. It describes an evidence-gathering step toward guidance, not a new identity standard or enacted obligation. The wiki treats it as one story; see united-kingdom-ai-agent-policy. The 9 October report does not mention the ICO’s enquiries with OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta and the AI Security Institute (reported only in the 8 October source) — not a conflict.
Items the report says pre-date the window (not counted as new)
7 October Cantwell governance proposal; 7 October MAS final guidelines; 6 October Nigerian CERT advisory; 5 October New York City hearing; 5 October Estonian legal commentary. The report states their absence from earlier reports does not establish a new publication date. No details or links were given, so none are recorded on concept or country pages; needing verification (source: 2026-10-09-ai-agent-identity-news.md). Also excluded: RSA Agent ID (product story), vendor announcements, explainers, event listings.
