<h2>IRTF Mission</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p><em>To promote research of importance to the evolution of the future Internet by
|
|
creating focused, long-term and small Research Groups working on topics related to
|
|
Internet protocols, applications, architecture and technology.</em></p>

<H2>IRTF Research Groups</H2>
|
|
<p>The Internet Research Task Force is composed of a number
|
|
of small <a href="https://www.irtf.org/groups">Research Groups</a>. Research Groups are usually focussed and long term, though short lived "task force" like Research Groups are possible.<p>

<h2>IRTF Overview</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <a href="https://www.irtf.org/groups">Research Groups</a> work on topics related to
|
|
Internet protocols, applications, architecture and technology. Research Groups are
|
|
expected to have the stable long term (with respect to the lifetime of the Research Group) membership needed to promote the development of
|
|
research collaboration and teamwork in exploring research issues. Participation is by
|
|
individual contributors, rather than by representatives of organizations. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The IRTF is managed by the IRTF Chair in consultation with the Internet Research
|
|
Steering Group (IRSG). The IRSG membership includes the IRTF Chair, the chairs of the
|
|
various Research Group and possibly other individuals ("members at large") from
|
|
the research community. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The IRTF Chair is appointed by the <a href="https://www.iab.org/">Internet
|
|
Architecture Board (IAB)</a>, the Research Group chairs are appointed as part of the
|
|
formation of Research Groups and the IRSG members at large are chosen by the IRTF Chair in
|
|
consultation with the rest of the IRSG and on approval of the IAB. In addition to managing
|
|
the Research Groups, the IRSG may from time to time hold topical workshops focusing on
|
|
research areas of importance to the evolution of the Internet, or more general workshops
|
|
to, for example, discuss research priorities from an Internet perspective. </p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The IRTF Research Groups guidelines and procedures are described more fully in
|
|
<a href="ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2014.txt">RFC 2014 (BCP 8)</a>.</p>

|
<h2>Mail Lists</h2>
|
|
<p>Each IRTF Research Group maintains one or more open mailing lists.
|
|
Information on these lists is available on the individual research
|
|
group's pages.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <a
|
|
href="https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/irtf-announce">IRTF
|
|
Announce</a> list receive notices of IRTF Research Group creation
|
|
and termination, document publication, invitations for feedback and
|
|
participation, and other IRTF activities.</p>
