2. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
• www.ietf.org
• Anyone can participate in the
mailing lists and discussions
• Anyone can submit a "draft"
document (called an
"Internet Draft")
• Working Groups debate and discuss drafts
• Documents progress through the standards process
to become RFCs

3. IETF Meetings
• Three times each year
• Move around the world to different locations
• Not a "conference" with new presentations, but rather
a continuation of discussions on email lists
