We are pleased to offer a number of Diversity Travel Grants to support early-career academics and PhD students from under-represented groups to attend the IRTF meetings co-located with the IETF-126 Meeting in Vienna, Austria, in July 2026.

universities in the 1980s: writing the majority of internet standard RFCs and their implementations

universities now: moving away from Microsoft cloud is really hard okay? 🥺

Friends, at a time when science is under attack and people are economically hurting, the scientific community should work to make access easier not harder. @ACM, Association for Computing Machinery, is doing the complete opposite by introducing paywalls that didn't exist.

Features that were previously free and open to the public are now "Premium
Access" features.

If you are opposed to this measure, join me in signing this petition asking the ACM to stop.

As the High-Level Meeting comes to a close, we are excited about the newly finalized negotiations around the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)+20 resolution.

The outcome lays the foundation for the next 10 years of work on Internet governance, supported by a permanent Internet Governance Forum and a framework that remains closely linked to the Sustainable Development Goals.

Hear more on today’s outcomes from our principal of Internet technology, policy, and advocacy, Olaf Kolkman.
