		IETF working groups have defined the security standards that will help secure the Internet, the quality of service standards that will make the Internet a more predictable environment, and the standard for the next generation of the Internet protocol itself.
		The IETF motto is "rough consensus and running code." Working group unanimity is not required for a proposal to be adopted, but a proposal that cannot demonstrate that most of the working group members think that it is the right thing to do will not be approved.
		The IETF is one of the very few major standards organizations that make all of their documents openly available, as well as all of its mailing lists and meetings.

	IP Version 6 (IPv6)
		IPv6 was recommended by the IPng Area Directors of the Internet Engineering Task Force at the Toronto IETF meeting on July 25, 1994 in RFC 1752, The Recommendation for the IP Next Generation Protocol.
		The recommendation was approved by the Internet Engineering Steering Group and made a Proposed Standard on November 17, 1994.
		Internet Protocol Version 6 is abbreviated to IPv6 (where the "6" refers to it being assigned version number 6).

	Internet Engineering Task Force Information Page - internet-engineering-task-force
		During the early 1990s the IETF changed institutional form from an activity of the U.S. government to an independent, international activity associated with the Internet Society.
		The IETF has at times been ascribed nearly magical abilities by the trade press, who assumed its mechanisms were responsible for the success of the Internet because it works on the Internet's core protocols.
		Work within the IETF on ways to improve its speed is ongoing but, because the number of volunteers with opinions on it is very great, consensus mechanisms on how to improve have been slow to emerge.

	The Tao of IETF - A Novice's Guide to the Internet Engineering Task Force (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		Marshall Rose once remarked that the IETF was a place to go for "many fine lunches and dinners." While it is true that some people eat very well at the IETF, they find the food on their own; lunches and dinners are not included in the registration fee.
		If you create Internet hardware or software, and no one from your company has ever attended an IETF meeting, it behooves you to come to a meeting if for no other reason than to tell the others how relevant the meeting was or was not to your business.
		Given that the IETF is one of the best-known bodies that is helping move the Internet forward, it's natural for the computer press (and even the trade press) to want to cover its actions.

		Indeed, IETF leaders are confident that their companies will continue to invest time and money in the group's work, regardless of how bad the overall economic situation gets.
		Engineers who participate in the IETF are finding a new emphasis on internationalization.
		The IETF is weighing two technical solutions for this complex problem: either converting foreign language characters into Unicode, a computer industry standard, and then encoding them in ASCII for transmission over the Internet; or creating a directory layer on top of the DNS to perform this translation function.

	Wired News: Thumbs Down on Net Wiretaps
		The executive committees of the Internet Engineering Task Force dismissed the idea with characteristic understatement, saying they would not "consider requirements for wiretapping" in protocols.
		The 15 KB draft document released this week caps an unusually public debate inside IETF that was marked by an FBI call to permit wiretaps, Congressional condemnation of the idea, and a flame-ridden mailing list called "raven" that lived up to its homophonous name.
		IETF chairman Fred Baker did his best to mollify the critics, and -- for once -- there seemed to be only a few.

	11/10/99 Open Letter to the Internet Engineering Task Force opposing adoption of new Internet surveillance protocols. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		We are writing to urge the IETF not to adopt new protocols or modify existing protocols to facilitate eavesdropping.
		Even if the IETF were to develop protocols that facilitated surveillance, it would not prevent crime as most significant criminal enterprises (i.e., those important enough to warrant being placed under surveillance in the first place) would be sophisticated enough to use end-to-end encryption products to prevent decoding of the intercepted communications.
		The August 1996 Internet Advisory Board (IAB) and Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) Statement on Cryptographic Technology and the Internet (RFC 1984) called for the availability and development of stronger tools to protect security and privacy of network users and rejected limitations on computer security based on country requirements for interception.

	Internet task force rejects wiretap proposal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		The IETF's decision is a boon to corporate network managers, many of whom feared that any hole built into the Internet for legitimate law enforcement purposes would be abused by hackers.
		IETF participants who work for companies that sell telephone switches worry that there will be no market for their combined voice/data switches unless they can support wiretapping, which they expect will be required by government agencies.
		IETF leaders say it will be possible for switch manufacturers to add wiretapping capabilities to their products without building it into the Net's underlying communications protocols.

	Report on 33st Internet Engineering Task Force Meeting
		Briefly, the IETF is the protocol engineering and development arm of the Internet.
		The actual technical work of the IETF is done in its working groups, which are organized by topic into several areas (e.g., routing, network management, security, etc.).
		In the end, a consensus was reached (an IETF word meaning that nobody is really happy, but the fewest number of people don't like the idea) that the best idea would be to have one or two working groups with a very narrow focus, designed to solve a particular problem.

		The intent of the standards track documents is clear, and culminates in an official Internet Standard.
		The IETF currently has no mechanism or means of publishing documents that express its deep concern about something important, but otherwise contain absolutely no useful information whatsoever.
		The resulting vacuum is viewed as having the technical approval of the IETF, but it is not, and cannot become, an official Internet Standard.
