RFC 1690 Rewritten: Bestie, Meet the IEPG ✨

Network Working Group, G. Huston, AARNet, Category: Informational, August 1994 🎀 Obsoletes: none, Updates: none 💅 (The RFC title block says nothing about obsoleting or updating anything, so there's nothing to report there.)

Status of This Memo 🌸

okay so this memo is just here to give the Internet community some info 💖 It is NOT a standard of any kind, so nobody is forced to do anything. And literally anyone can share it, no restrictions 🦋

Abstract ✨

So the IEPG is introduced here 💅 It's an Internet Service Operators' forum, and its whole purpose is helping the service operators coordinate on the day-to-day running of Internet services 🫶

1. Charter of the Internet Engineering and Planning Group 👑

Domain of Activity 🌈

The IEPG is mostly made up of Internet Service Operators 🧚

Goal 💜

The goal is to promote a technically coordinated operational environment for the Global Internet. Very main character energy 💅

Activities 🦋

The IEPG's activities cover these areas:

  • Facilitating the operations and management of Global Internet services,
  • Promoting the introduction of new Internet services within the Global Internet, and
  • Liaising with related Internet Operations groups and with technical development groups.
Real talk: the IEPG is explicitly NOT a group that does technical development work 🙈

Constituency 🍓

Membership is open 💖 Anyone can subscribe to the IEPG mailing list, and all meeting announcements, agendas, meetings, and meeting reports are made openly available 🌸
