Network Working Group (NWG)

The Network Working Group (NWG) was a key organization established in the early 1980s that coordinated the development of Internet protocols and standards. It brought together researchers and engineers to create guidelines ensuring different computer systems could communicate effectively. The NWG played a crucial role in standardizing the protocols that form the foundation of the internet today. Over time, its responsibilities were absorbed into other organizations, but it remains an important part of the history of internet development, facilitating collaboration and innovation in network technology.
