IETF | Interim meetings

The IETF works on a broad range of networking technologies that provide the foundation for the Internet's growth and evolution.
While most IETF work takes place online, meetings and other events such as Hackathons provide in-person opportunities to advance work within the IETF.
The IETF is the premier Internet standards organization. It follows open and well-documented processes for setting these standards. Once published, those standards are made freely available.
The global IETF community works together in many different ways to produce high quality, relevant technical documents that influence the way people design, use, and manage the Internet.
By supporting the IETF today, you are ensuring a free and open Internet exists tomorrow.
The work of the IETF is largely conducted over mailing lists; however, some working groups also occasionally hold "interim" meetings, either face-to-face or virtually.
Interim meetings held between IETF meetings focus on specific issues and accelerate the working group process.
A complete list of upcoming interim meetings is available on the IETF Datatracker. Interim face-to-face meetings are scheduled by Working Group chairs and require Area Director approval. They must be announced at least four weeks prior to the meeting. Virtual interim meetings must be announced at least two weeks prior to the meeting, and require Working Group Chair approval.
A list of past interim meetings is also available on the IETF Datatracker. Archives for each meeting include meeting agendas, minutes, participation records, as well as slides and documents presented and discussed during the meeting.
