A new IETF working group has been proposed in the Internet Area. The IESG has not made any determination as yet.

Internet Area Working Group (intarea) --------------------------------------------------- Current Status: Proposed Working Group Last modified: 2009-10-22 Chairs: TBD Internet Area (int) Directors: Jari Arkko <jari.arkko@piuha.net> Ralph Droms <rdroms@cisco.com> Internet Area Advisor: Jari Arkko <jari.arkko@piuha.net> Ralph Droms <rdroms@cisco.com> Mailing Lists: General Discussion: int-area@ietf.org Subscribe online at: https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/int-area Description of Working Group: The Internet Area Working Group (INTAREA WG) acts primarily as a forum for discussing far-ranging topics that affect the entire area. Such topics include, for instance, address space issues, basic IP layer functionality, and architectural questions. The group also serves as a forum to distribute information about ongoing activities in the area, create a shared understanding of the challenges and goals for the area, and to enable coordination. The Internet Area receives occasional proposals for the development and publication of RFCs that are not in scope of an existing working group and do not justify the formation of a new working group. The INTAREA WG has a secondary role to serve as the forum for developing such work items in the IETF. The working group milestones are updated as needed to reflect the current work items and their associated milestones. New work must satisfy the following conditions: (1) WG consensus on the relevance for the Internet at large. (2) WG consensus on the suitability and projected quality of the proposed work item. (3) A core group of WG participants with sufficient energy and expertise to advance the work item according to the proposed schedule. (4) Commitment from the WG as a whole to provide sufficient and timely review of the proposed work item. (5) Agreement by the ADs, who, depending on the scope of the proposed work item, may decide that an IESG review is needed first.
