1. 30 minutes conference talk on Introduction to the IETF processes and standardization process. The IETF is unlike any other "conference" or any other standards bodies. It has it own structure and quirks. In this tutorial I talked about how the IETF is structured, how it works, how to publish an I-D to solve issues (with a working demo of tools) or document them and a little bit about how to use the different tools to comment, publish and submit an I-D. I also covered the life-cycle of the Working Groups in the IETF and the journey of the I-D to a published RFC. Slides below.
2. He followed up on the 2nd day of the SANOG Conference with a couple of talks on IIESoc and EDCO. IIESoc is a non-profit that was established to give a common forum for IETF contributors from India to collaborate, mentor and exchange ideas. He also talked about the past event and planned activities including the Pre-IETF forum called Connections. This talk was followed by a presentation on EDCO and it's relevance to IETF and India.
