This document summarises summarizes the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) -
Internet Society (ISOC) relationship, following a major revision to
the structure of the IETF Administrative Support Activity (IASA) in
2018. The IASA was revised under a new "IASA 2.0" structure by the
IASA2 Working Group, which changed the IETF's administrative, legal,
and financial structure. As a result, it also changed the relationship
between the IETF and ISOC, which made it necessary to revise RFC 2031.

The Internet Society provides a corporate home for the administrative
entity that supports the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the
Internet Architecture Board (IAB), and the Internet Research Task
Force (IRTF), and supports the work of these groups through a variety
of programs.

      <t pn="section-1-2">
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is the body that is
responsible for the development and maintenance of the Internet
Standards. The IETF is primarily a volunteer organization. Its driving
force is a group of dedicated dedicated, high-quality engineers from all over the
world. In a structure of working groups, these engineers exchange
ideas and experience, and through discussion and collaboration (both
electronically and face-to-face) face-to-face), they strive to achieve rough
consensus and implement the standards through running code.

      <t pn="section-1-3">
The growth of the Internet over several decades has also led to the
growth of the IETF. More and more people, organizations, and companies
rely on Internet Standards. Non-technical Nontechnical issues, such as legal,
administrative, and financial issues had long been an undesirable but
unavoidable part of the IETF. To address these issues in 1995 issues, the IETF
established the Poised95 Working Group. Group in 1995. Its goal was to structure and
document the IETF processes in order to maximize the flexibility and
freedom of IETF engineers so that they could work in the way the IETF
had always been most successful and to honour honor the IETF credo: "Rough
consensus and running code".

  <t>
      <t pn="section-1-4">
The Poised95 Working Group concluded that the Internet Society (ISOC),
which was formed in 1992, was the best organization to handle all of
these legal, administrative, and financial tasks on behalf of of, and in
close cooperation with with, the IETF. This led to documenting things such

In 2018, the IASA was revised under a new "IASA 2.0" structure by the

bank accounts; and for liability insurance. The IETF LLC is managed by
a Board of Directors, one of whom is appointed by the ISOC's Board of
