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.

Internet Engineering Task Force
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is a standards organization for the Internet and is responsible for the technical standards that make up the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP). It has no formal membership roster or requirements and all its participants are volunteers. Their work is usually funded by employers or other sponsors.
The IETF was initially supported by the federal government of the United States but since 1993 has operated under the auspices of the Internet Society, a non-profit organization with local chapters around the world.
