Internet Governance Forum 2017
The Internet Governance Forum’s meetings bring together Internet user communities, businesses, technical folk, and a set of UN and government bodies.
The deadline to submit Birds of a Feather (BoF) proposals for IETF 101 is rapidly approaching: Friday, February 2 at 23:59 UTC.
Hopefully those who have been working on ideas that seem like they need to extend an existing working group’s charter, need a new working group altogether, or need some dedicated face-to-face discussion in the community have already been talking to your Area Directors about these proposals. If not, please do so right away! And please take a look at the recommendations in RFC 5434 about how to have a successful BoF.
Based on community discussion the IESG kicked off last fall, we have updated the BoF wiki to request some additional information from BoF proponents. In addition to the information we require about every BoF proposal, proponents are also encouraged to do the following in their BoF wiki entries:
This information will allow the IESG, with the IAB’s assistance, to make more informed decisions more quickly about BoF proposals.
See the IETF 101 webpage for additional details about the meeting, and links to registration and more information about the preceding IETF Hackathon.

Thanks to everyone who provided further input about the revamped www.ietf.org website around IETF 100.
For years, the IETF has been driving the industry transition from an overloaded Software Defined Networking (SDN) buzzword to data modeling-driven management.
Hackers.mu is a developer group based in Mauritius made up of a wide range of people from different backgrounds: high school students, university students, professional engineers, and advisors to the minister of ICT.
IETF 100 wrapped up just over a week ago in steamy Singapore. In addition to our usual productive working group sessions, hallway conversations, and ad hoc collaboration, we took the opportunity to mark the milestone of the 100th meeting with looks backward and forward in the IETF’s trajectory (plus some bubbles and sweets) at the plenary session.
