Title: IETF: Proposed Organizational Changes
State: Active
Authors: Patrice Lyons
Group: Individual Submissions (none)
Date: 2004-10-19
This memo outlines the nature of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
as an unincorporated association, reviews some history of the IETF
Secretariat relevant to the current structure of the organization, and
proposes steps that might be taken to move forward in the interest of the
Internet community more generally. Since the IETF serves as a focal point
in the technical evolution of the Internet infrastructure, it is important
that any organizational changes take into account the wider public
interest. Considerations of who provides support to the IETF hinge on the
legal status of the IETF itself. Steps should be taken to clarify this
matter as a first priority.
