<div dir="ltr">Hi Everyone</div>
<div dir="ltr">I had the pleasure of joining the AugNOG 2021 event in Sydney last year - well the event was great, the weather not so much! In my presentation I mentioned that new Internet standards are decided at the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)
and that carriers are not particularly well represented there.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">The IETF holds three meetings a year, which cycle between North America, Europe and Asia. The locations make it expensive to reach and the time zones are usually pretty challenging for remote attendance. The good news is that the IETF will
be coming back to Australia for the first time since March 2000. The IETF 119 meeting is scheduled to take place in the Brisbane Convention Centre from 16th-22nd March 2024 - see <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.ietf.org/how/meetings/119/" style="font-size: inherit;">https://www.ietf.org/how/meetings/119/</a><span style="font-size: inherit;"> for
more details. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: inherit;"><br>
</span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: inherit;">It would be great to see some members of the AusNOG community at the IETF meeting, bringing the benefit of operational experience to the discussions. </span></div>
