Activity 1.3 assignment 1. Seek out an individual standard or protocol (ex HTTP or TCP/IP): Who establishes this standard? What does it do? Does this organization function alone, or did they collaborate with other organizations to create the standard? I found 5 internet standard organizations which are the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), Internet Society (ISOC), Internet Architecture Board (IAB), Internet Research Task Force (IRTF), and World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The one that interested me the most was Internet Engineering Task Force. Which is the Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) and the members are nominated by IETF participants and approved by the ISOC Board of Trustees. IETF create the Internet Standards and publish them, they’re a standard organization and responsible for the technical standards that make up the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP). IETF does not function alone they collaborate with other organizations in the international standard community (Best Current Practice). 2. Research the 802 Group established by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) What does it focus on? What are the various sub- committees that fall under the 802 Group (802.3, 802.11, etc.)? IEEE focus is to develop and maintain networking standards and recommended practices for local metropolitan and other area networks using an open, consensus-driven standards development process, and advocates them on a global basis (IEEE Standard Associations). The various sub-committees which fall under 802 Group are 802.1 Higher Layer LAN Protocols Working Group, 802.3 Ethernet Working Group, 802.11 Wireless LAN Working Group, 802.15 Wireless Specialty Network (WSN) Working Group, 802.18 Radio Regulatory TAG, 802.19 Wireless Coexistence Working Group, and 802.24 Vertical Applications TAG (IEEE 802 LMSC).

3. What other activities does the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) take part in other than TCP/IP ( protocols, standards, events )? IETF takes part Applications, General, Internet, and Operations and Management, Real time Applications and Infrastructure, Routing, Security, and Transport. A few more activities that IETF takes part of producing high quality, relevant technical and engineering documents that influence the way people design, use, and manage the Internet in ways to make the Internet work better than ever before. 4. What is an RFC (Request for Comments)? How are they created? Request for Comments are formal documentation from the Internet Engineering Task Force that contains specifications and organizational notes about topics related to the internet and computer networking, such as routing, addressing and transport technologies. They are usually started as Internet-Drafts (I-Ds) written by an individual or a small group. Usually adopted by a working group, improved, and revised. 5. Who are the contributing members of the ISO for the United States, Russia and China? Are there any other countries which may impact your work in the future, who are their contributing members? (if you don't have an idea of where you will work guess) Use the ISO Member link Contributing members for China is SAC is the representee within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and other International and regional standardization organizations. You have Committee on Conformity assessment, consumer policy, and developing country matters. Contributors for Russia is the GOST R another way of saying Russia Federal Agency on Technical Regulating and Metrology. Contributing members for United States is ANSI (American National Standards Institute). I would be staying here in the United States, there wouldn’t be at least for the mean time any worries or concerns. The only contributing members for the USA is ANSI.
