9 Jan 2024

The IETF Administration LLC Strategic Plan sets out the strategy that it aims to follow over the next 3-5 years.

This Strategic Plan is developed by the IETF LLC Board and then revised after consultation with the IETF community.

    • To make IETF infrastructure and services, in particular IETF Meetings, as fairly accessible as possible, while still operating within resource constraints.

This strategy is an important living document for the IETF LLC. It forms the basis of the annual goals for the IETF Executive Director and is used as a key input into the annual budget process. Thank you to all those who provided feedback.

This Strategic Plan, along with older versions and related strategic documents, are available on the Administration Overview page.
