Internet Engineering Task Force
<networking, standard, body> (IETF) The IETF is a large, open
international community of network designers, operators, vendors and researchers
whose purpose is to coordinate the operation, management and evolution of the
Internet and to resolve short- and mid-range protocol and architectural issues.
It is a major source of proposals for protocol standards which are submitted to
the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) for final approval. The IETF meets three
times a year and extensive minutes are included in the IETF Proceedings.
The IETF Secretariat, run by The Corporation for National Research Initiatives
with funding from the US government, maintains an index of Internet-Drafts
whereas RFCs are maintained by The Internet Architecture Board.
