IETF Hackathon Goes Online!
Think back to the start of what some refer to as “the COVID-19 era.” It was early 2020 and prep for IETF 107 was in full swing. The wiki for the IETF 107 Hackathon already boasted an exciting list of projects.
One of our key work items, developing policies for the IETF LLC, is now complete.
The policy development process, as required in our key formation documents, such as RFC 4071bis and the Internet Society-IETF LLC Memorandum of Understanding, has now ended. Community comments began in June 2019 and today we have published the first version of all of those policies. We have also published Conflict of Interest forms for all IETF LLC Board members and the IETF Executive Director.
Now that policies have been released, we will undertake the work to implement them and ensure compliance. In particular, next week we will begin communicating to all individuals that may be considered “Covered Individuals” under any of the policies with additional information and any actions they should take. Thank you to the IETF community for your review and feedback as we developed these policies.
We expect to review these policies on a regular cycle and may revise them if issues are found during implementation and so we welcome ongoing engagement from the community through the GitHub repository and/or email to the discussion list llc-consultation@ietf.org.

We recently ran a survey to understand why people who participated in an IETF meeting in 2018/2019 did not participate in IETF 108 to see if there are any issues that we need to fix. The results are now available and this blog post explains some of the insights in the data.
While interoperability testing has been one of the hallmarks of open standards and Internet protocol development for more than three decades, the process itself has been limited by manual and inconsistent testing.
The Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) Open Meeting at the IETF 101 in London had a rather curious point on the agenda: “Vision for a QIRG: Quantum Internet Research Group”. With the hype around quantum computing growing every year, it was only natural that some people would start asking whether the Internet could also benefit from the quantum revolution.
The IETF Administration LLC has reforecast its 2020 budget to address the significant changes in the underlying assumptions since the original budget was created.
