I'm self studying AP comuter science as I feel I'm out of touch with the rapid advance of technology and its role in everything we do. I'm someone with a history in agriculture looking to up/reskill myself as part of my own recovery from job loss and huge change of circumstance as a result of the pandemic. I will be posting this same question a few times. Alvestrand A Mission Statement for the IETF October 2004.HI guys.

The following Request For Comments documents provide more information about the IETF: Recommendations of a working group to address the issues were described in IETF Problem Resolution Process, RFC 3844. In conformance with their open culture, their members conducted a searching self-examination in 20 as documented in The IETF in the Large: Administration and Execution, RFC 3716, and IETF Problem Statement, RFC 3774. With the continued increase in the scale and technical complexity of the Internet, the IETF went through some growing pains adjusting to the similar increase in their own responsibilities and challenges. The IETF also facilitates technology transfer from the Internet Research Task Force, and provides a forum for the exchange of information between Internet vendors, users, researchers, contractors, and managers. Working groups often document their work in one or more Request For Comments, which sometimes go on to become standards that help define how the Internet works. Most of the work done by the IETF is performed by several working groups, each interested in a particular Internet topic and led by a working group chair. The IETF studies operational and technical problems with the Internet, specifies protocols and architectural solutions, and makes recommendations to its steering committee, the Internet Engineering Steering Group ( IESG). The first IETF meeting held in Europe was in Amsterdam in July, 1993. The fourteenth meeting was hosted by Stanford University in July, 1989, and led the Internet Architecture Board to consolidate many task forces into the IETF and the IRTF.


The seventh meeting was hosted by the MITRE corporation in McLean, Virginia, in July, 1987, and had more than 100 attendees.


The first IETF meeting was held in January, 1986 in San Diego, and had 15 attendees. For example, their voting members are selected according to a random process to guarentee unbaised selections, as described in Publicly Verifiable Nominations Committee (NomCom) Random Selection, RFC 3797. The culture of the IETF has always been open and informal, an influence taken from its predecessor, the Network Working Group. It consists of Internet administrators, designers, vendors, researchers, and individuals interested in the evolution of the Internet architecture, and is responsible for improvement of the Internet technology protocols and standards. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) was created in 1986 by the Internet Architecture Board. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is an open global community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers producing technical specifications for the evolution of the Internet architecture and the smooth operation of the Internet.
