Happy Birthday! So, at IETF 1 the following areas of concern were identified: IETF Areas of Concern - o Protocol Development and Stabilization, o Protocol Conformance, o An Implementors Support Organization, o Internet Performance Measurements, o ISO Conversion. Only one of them seems clearly out of scope 30 years after.
