As previously discussed, here’s a brief note about the upcoming IETF meeting in San Francisco in July. For those that don’t know, the IETF is the premier Internet standards development organisation, responsible for standards such as IPv6, SMTP, QUIC, WebRTC and plenty more. Anyone can participate, no membership is required and most participation is free as it takes place on mailing lists. The IETF is arranged by areas and Network Operators tend to find the Ops area the most relevant. Work happens within Working Groups and the list of those for the Ops area can be found here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/#OPS The IETF meets three times a year for the various Working Groups to push their work forward and this is the only time a fee is charged, to cover the cost of the meetings, but a remote participation fee waiver option is available for those that cannot afford the fee. Details of the meeting here: https://www.ietf.org/how/meetings/117/ Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions.
