ION Cape Town - IETF Update and How to Get Involved
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is a global community that produces technical documents to improve internet functionality and user experience. With 130 working groups organized into seven areas, the IETF allows public participation and encourages the submission of internet draft documents. Regular meetings take place three times a year, with a focus on various aspects including privacy, security, and routing.

Editor's Notes
- #4 The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is a large open international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers concerned with the evolution of the Internet architecture and smooth operation of the Internet. The IETF is comprised of volunteers, engineers who act as individuals to develop and refine protocols that are useful across the spectrum of organisations, manufacturers and vendors, who utilise the Internet and support the work of the IETF.
- #5 Organized in 1986, the IETF produces open standards (published as RFCs*, or Request for Comments*). These RFCs are the cornerstone of a vibrant Internet. It is through Open Internet Standards that the Internet has become the largest internetwork in the world, allowing for unprecedented use by people around the globe.
