Celebrating Data Privacy Day
Today is International Data Privacy Day, and I wanted to let Alissa Cooper say a few words about how we are working on privacy topics at the IETF. - Jari Arkko, IETF Chair
The IETF’s relevance in the marketplace was the subject of a workshop held by the IAB in December in Cambridge UK on Internet Technology Adoption and Transition (ITAT).
This wide ranging workshop took stock of how things have gone since the publication of RFC 5218, and considered some modern day protocol successes, challenges, as well as new approaches to understanding how we can evaluate likelihood of success of a protocol. The workshop featured both “greatest hits” to re-examine, such as DNSSEC deployment, as well as new found successes such as Bitcoin. We delved into incentive modeling, or why various stakeholders would implement and deploy our work, evolutionary economics and how layers might come and go, as well as systems biology, where our classic hourglass is analagous to their bow tie.
So what did we learn?
What we take away from our discussions is the possibility of one or more research groups and the potential for collaboration between researchers in this field and our engineers and leadership, in the hopes of gaining better understanding of how to have our work succeed.
For more information about the workshop or the papers presented, please have a look at http://www.iab.org/activities/workshops/itat/, and stay tuned for an upcoming workshop report with a few additional comments at the IAB plenary.

I wanted to draw attention to Mark Nottingham’s excellent blog article about strengthening HTTP.
In this article I wanted to highlight an important but often hidden part in the IETF ecosystem: Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
The last days of the year seems like a good opportunity to reflect on some of things that happened during 2013.
Wow what a week! Working with Internet technology often involves details deep inside the technology. But it seems that this week has been a perfect storm of highly visible and important technical developments:
