The document summarizes the results of a survey conducted by the Internet Society to understand operator participation in the IETF standardization process. The survey found that over half of operators do not participate in the IETF, most commonly due to lack of time and travel budgets. While operators recognize the relevance of IETF standards, many do not understand how to engage or what happens at meetings and on mailing lists. The Internet Society aims to address issues identified in the survey to increase operator input into IETF standardization.
Initial survey results from the Internet Society "Operators & the IETF" survey.
The goal of the project is ultimately to facilitate communications between the operator community and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to help ensure that operational realities inform the development of key standards. We want to foster a larger and more engaged operator community around the IETF and protocol development work. In order to ensure that we take the most effective action, we will focus initially on talking to operators around the world, gathering information and defining the problem statement(s).
The first phase of this project was a survey of the operator community which was conducted over the first half of this year. That survey was closed on 1 July 2014 with over 350 responses. Thank you to everyone who participated!

In 2014, the Internet Society launched a project to address the perceived gap between Operators and the IETF. The objective of this project is ultimately to facilitate communications between the operator community and the IETF to help ensure that operational realities inform the development of key standards. The first phase of this project was a survey of the operator community that was conducted over the first half of 2014. This talk aims to synthesize the survey results, along with information we collected directly from operators during the survey window. The primary purpose of doing this is to start a conversation which we hope will lead to increases in the level of operational input and feedback to the IETF standards making process. We understand the problems, now let’s start finding solutions!

The Internet Society is seeking to foster a larger and more engaged network operator community around the IETF and protocol development work. We conducted a widespread survey of network operators from January to July 2014 and are now analyzing and synthesizing the results. In this session, we’ll discuss the initial survey results and our next steps to create a report and IETF Internet-Draft that outlines the challenges to greater operator engagement in the IETF and a summary of potential solutions.

CompensationTotal rewards is an organizational system of rewardsLynellBull52
Compensation
Total rewards is an organizational system of rewards that is inclusive of compensation, benefits, and any tangible or intangible items employees value and an employer provides to retain employees and reinforce preferred behaviors. These forms of compensation are broken down into two categories: direct (monetary) and indirect (non-monetary).
Non-HR Perspective: What is the manager’s role in establishing a compensation strategy? How do managers influence the compensation process?
In developing your response, you want to consider some of the following elements: legal consideration, diversity of employees (e.g. multiple generations in the workforce), motivation, recruitment and retention, sustaining performance, challenges, and various employee classifications (executive, professional, international, etc.).

23 November 2017 - At ION Belgrade, Kevin Meynell discusses what happened at the recent IETF meeting, and how to get involved in the open Internet standards community.
September 2017 - Aftab Siddiqui presents on the Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security (MANRS), and how we can work together to improve the security and resiliency of the Internet's routing system.
18 September 2017 - ION Malta
What’s happening at the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)? What RFCs and Internet-Drafts are in progress related to IPv6, DNSSEC, Routing Security/Resiliency, and other key topics? We’ll give an overview of the ongoing discussions in several working groups and discuss the outcomes of recent Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) sessions, and provide a preview of what to expect in future discussions.
Collaboration and shared responsibility are two pillars supporting the Internet’s growth and success. While the global routing system has worked well, it has significant security challenges that we must address. In this panel, security experts will discuss how we can create a culture of collective responsibility and improve the global routing system, including an introduction to the “Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security” (MANRS).
18 September 2017 - ION Malta
DNSSEC helps prevent attackers from subverting and modifying DNS messages and sending users to wrong (and potentially malicious) sites. So what needs to be done for DNSSEC to be deployed on a large scale? We’ll discuss the reasons for deploying DNSSEC, examine some of the challenges operators have faced, and address those challenges and move deployment forward.
18 September 2017 - Rick Lamb, ICANN, on DANE:
If you connect to a “secure” server using TLS/SSL (such as a web server, email server or xmpp server), how do you know you are using the correct certificate? With DNSSEC now being deployed, “DANE” (“DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities”) has emerged allowing you to securely specify exactly which TLS/SSL certificate an application should use to connect to your site. DANE has great potential to make the Internet much more secure by marrying the strong integrity protection of DNSSEC with the confidentiality of SSL/TLS certificates. In this session, we will explain how DANE works and how you can use it to secure your websites, email, XMPP, VoIP, and other web services.
18 September 2017 - At ION Malta, Adam Peake discusses the IANA transition:
The IANA transition was successfully completed in October 2016 creating strengthened relationships between the IETF (Internet protocols and standards), Regional Internet Registries RIRs (IP addresses), and ccTLD and gTLD operators and TLD community and ICANN. A new organisation, Public Technical Identifiers (PTI), an affiliate of ICANN, is now responsible for performing the IANA functions and delivering the IANA Services on behalf of ICANN. The session will discuss these new arrangements and how they have enhanced ICANN’s accountability and transparency to the global Internet community. The session will also describe how ICANN is preparing for the Root KSK Rollover.
7 September 2017 - At ION Conference Durban, South Africa, Kevin Meynell discusses what's happening at the IETF in the world of Internet standards, and how you can get involved in the process.

1. Operators and the IETF – the survey
Standardizing the future, together
Chris Grundemann and Jan Žorž
Internet Society
mailto:<zorz@isoc.org>
mailto:<grundemann@isoc.org>
www.internetsociety.org
2. Primal reason: The Dream
In a perfect world…
• The IETF creates standard protocols with operator input
and they work great
• Deployment and operationalization concerns are
consistently addressed
• The level of operator engagement makes sense when
compared to vendor and academic involvement
• Operators always know when their input is needed
• Operators always provide their input when it’s needed
The Internet Society
3. Primal reason: The Reality
Operators aren’t that much engaged enough…
• The significant portion of operators (at least mid/small size)
don’t join IETF mailing lists nor do they show up to IETF
meetings
• Current IETF attendees, including many stakeholders, make
vital decisions without this operator input
• The operators expected to deploy these technologies often
don’t even know that they are being developed
• Critical new technologies are being developed with little to
no direct operator input
• Standards deemed ready by recent IETF attendees
sometimes turn out to be problematic in operational networks
The Internet Society
4. Our role
• This topic was discussed for many years now and we
decided it’s time to gather some real data from the
operators
• ISOC’s Chris Grundemann created a massive online
survey with many questions
• Our team within ISOC is working to facilitate
communications between operators and the IETF to help
ensure operational realities help inform standards
development. Part of that is to understand what the
issues are from the operators’ perspective so that we
can address the concerns and ultimately help make
better standards..
The Internet Society
5. The survey
• Survey started at the beginning of 2014 and ended on
1st of July 2014
• 368 people answered the survey
• Many questions and also opportunity for people to
describe with their own words “why” in different
categories
• Opportunity for operators to openly express their
frustrations, concerns and their various reasons
The Internet Society
6. The survey
• Main categories:
• Who are you (technical, management, operational, etc…)
• Level of IETF participation (not at all, just ML, meetings, participating
in full, etc…)
• If not participating – why not?
• If participating – why do you think other opers are not participating that
much?
• What would *you* do to increase operators participation in the IETF?
The Internet Society
7. Sample of results (just for those that indicated
that they are not participating)…

that they are not participating)…

15. Sample of results – IETF Meetings participation?
The Internet Society
16. Sample of results – IETF Meetings participation?
The Internet Society
17. In short:
• Majority of survey participants were Operators/
Engineers/Architects
• Not many developers
• Half of them claim to have a managerial role (remember
this one)
• More than 90% were primarily technical
• About half of them do not participate in the IETF in any
form
• ~30% participate just on mailing lists
The Internet Society
18. In short:
• They heard of IETF, know what IETF does but still half
of them don’t know how to participate
• Majority of survey participants who do not participate
believe that IETF documents ARE relevant to their job
• More than half think that their operator input is
welcomed and disagree that they rely on vendors

19. In short:
• Half of the survey participants don’t know what
happens at IETF meetings nor how to participate, but at
the same time they claim that they are interested and
that the content seems appropriate.
• More than half of the survey participants that do not
participate in IETF claim that time is an issue and 82%
say that they don’t have travel budget for IETF meetings,
despite the fact that over 50% of them have a managerial
role.

20. There’s lots of more data in the survey
• We got some suggestions, descriptions in their own
words, frustrations and also indications where the
issues might lie
• We wrote an I-D with our findings and also some
potential suggestions to draw more operators towards
the IETF:
• http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-opsawg-operators-ietf-00.txt
