Views on Internet Technology Adoption
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).
The IETF-89 meeting is starting a week from now in London, UK. This is our second time in London. Our previous visit was IETF-51 in August 2001.
It is a great place to have an IETF, with a lot of technology businesses and academia in the city and the rest of the country. London is also obviously an overall interesting city, easy to travel to, and has a lot of restaurants and pubs for those side meetings and unofficial gatherings that often drive a lot of the new ideas coming to the IETF.
I am very pleased that our host in London is ICANN. And our partnership with ICANN runs deeper than hosting this meeting. Steve Crocker, chairman of the board at ICANN wrote a nice article about the IETF and the relationship of the two organisations. ICANN is a consumer of the technology that we produce at the IETF, and we often work on projects together, such as on the next-generation whois technology. ICANN also maintains protocol parameter registries for the IETF by providing the IANA function, a service that we are very happy with. Finally, both the IETF and ICANN are part of the overall ecosystem of Internet organisations, each responsible for the different important tasks that are needed for the global Internet to grow and develop. Thank you, ICANN!
We also have BT as our connectivity sponsor. This is also very important for our bandwidth-hungry geeks. Thank you, BT, for your support!
But I am sure that you want to know what happens in the meeting itself. It looks to be once again an exciting week. Here are some highlights from my perspective, in the order that they happen during the week.
I look forward to the meeting, and would like to welcome you all to the meeting. And if you have not signed up yet, you can still register.

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
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.
