Who IAB/IESG/IETF speak
for?
• IETF is representative of individual engineers
• IESG provide technical leadership
• IAB provide strategic guidance
• Volunteer organisations – M.O. is best
expressed as “Rough Consensus and Working
Code”
– Very unlike ITU/ETSI (with whom we have liason
agreements) which are government or treaty orgs –
we are answerable to our membership, which is
anyone and everyone.
