### About

### IETF 125: Where the Internet’s Rules Are Written

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is the premier global community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers.

In Shenzhen, China, IETF 125 will bring together the world’s leading technical minds to decide the future of internet architecture.

#### How TIOF Approaches the IETF

The IO Foundation (TIOF) participates in the IETF to ensure that Data-Centric Digital Rights (DCDR) are integrated into the very foundation of technology. Our goal is to transform the way students and technologists interact with this global body through three core pillars:

1\. Decoding the Technical Stack. Before diving into the sessions, we explore the "Technical Stack." We look at every layer of the internet—from the physical cables and routing protocols to the applications you use every day. We identify which Standards Developing Organizations (SDOs), such as the IETF, are responsible for each layer and explain why their decisions affect human rights.

2\. Collaborative Working Group (WG) Monitoring The IETF is divided into Working Groups—small, focused teams working on specific technical problems (e.g., encryption, routing, or privacy).

* Defining the Mission: TIOF identifies key WGs critical to global digital safety.
* Student Interests: We encourage participants to choose WGs that align with their own passions, whether that is the future of AI, Internet-of-Things (IoT) security, or next-gen web protocols.

3\. Understanding the IETF Environment The IETF has a unique culture based on "Rough Consensus and Running Code." Engaging here requires more than just technical knowledge; it requires knowing how to navigate:

* Mailing Lists: Where the real work happens between meetings.
* Internet-Drafts: How to read and analyze proposed changes to the Internet.

#### Why This Matters

Technical standards are not neutral; they reflect the values of the people who build them. By participating in IETF 125, TIOF works to ensure that the internet of tomorrow is secure, open, and protective of citizens by design. The Hands-on workshop experience aligns with TIOF principles **Right by Design**

## **What will you learn**

Key Standards and Architectural Bodies This session examines the organizations and processes that define how the Internet is built, focusing on the transition from high-level digital rights to low-level protocol design:

#### 1. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)

* Role: The premier global body for developing the protocols that run the world (such as TLS, DNS, and HTTP). It operates on the principle of "Rough Consensus and Running Code."
* Relevance to IETF 125: You will learn how to navigate the IETF’s unique environment. Instead of just implementing protocols, you will learn how they are debated and drafted, focusing on how to audit them for privacy and user safety.

#### 2. The Technical Stack & Multidisciplinary Standards

* Role: The "Internet Stack" is a layered architecture where different bodies (IETF, W3C, IEEE) manage different functions
* Relevance to the Fellowship: We will explore how standards influence society from a multidisciplinary perspective. You will learn to see protocols not just as code, but as "technical policy" that can either protect or infringe upon digital rights.

#### 3. Working Groups (WGs) and Research Groups (RGs)

* Role: The engine rooms of the IETF. These are specialized groups where experts collaborate on specific topics
* Relevance to the Fellowship: You will learn how to identify, monitor, and engage with these groups.&#x20;

#### 4. Fellowship Modalities & Engagement Strategies

* Role: The framework through which TIOF supports your participation in the global standards ecosystem.
* Relevance to Your Career: You will learn the practical "how-tos" of participation: how to join a mailing list, how to read an Internet-Draft, and how to use the Data-Centric Digital Rights (DCDR) framework to provide meaningful feedback on emerging technology.
