IETF Trust

The IETF Trust is an organization that manages and protects the rights to the technical specifications and documents created by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). These documents, known as RFCs, are essential for developing internet standards and protocols. The Trust ensures that these documents remain freely accessible, available for use and adaptation, and are not restricted by intellectual property rights. Its goal is to promote open, collaborative development of internet technologies, supporting innovation and consistent implementation worldwide.
