## Submitted abstract

AII proposes to facilitate &#47; host active inference working groups as explained in our paper &#8220;Coordinating the Field&#8221;&#44; with a field group and one or more domain groups&#46; The first symposium session will introduce the concept&#44; recap the paper and reason for the groups and solicit suggested domains and participants&#46; The second session will review the proposed charter and consider amendments&#44; with versioning per group&#44; considering nominations for chair&#40;s&#41; and secretary&#40;ies&#41;&#44; and a goal of adopting the charter&#40;s&#41; during the symposium if possible and establish post&#45;symposium meeting cadence and work plan&#46; The third session will report back to the main session recap what was accomplished during the symposium and announce any working groups formed and their first year goals established&#46;
