The IETF-ISOC Relationship

Overview

RFC 8712, “The IETF-ISOC Relationship”, is an Informational document published in February 2020 by G. Camarillo, J. Livingood. It obsoletes RFC 2031. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document summarizes the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) - Internet Society (ISOC) relationship, following a major revision to the structure of the IETF Administrative Support Activity (IASA) in 2018. The IASA was revised under a new "IASA 2.0" structure by the IASA2 Working Group, which changed the IETF's administrative, legal, and financial structure. As a result, it also changed the relationship between the IETF and ISOC, which made it necessary to revise RFC 2031.
