The Internet Society and the Internet Engineering Task Force announced a new long term strategic agreement that will ensure the continuity of the IETF's critical work in creating open standards that make the Internet work better.

The Internet Society provided the organisational home for the IETF until 2018 when the IETF Administration LLC was formed to support its ongoing operations.

Under the new six-year agreement, the Internet Society will provide financial support in two areas: IETF's work through the LLC, and a new donor match program in support of upcoming fundraising efforts for the IETF Endowment, which is designed to provide long term funding for the IETF's mission.

"We look forward to continuing our support of the IETF in its important work of creating and improving open standards, a fundamental building block of an open Internet," said Gonzalo Camarillo, Chair of the Internet Society Board of Trustees.

"The Internet Society continues to demonstrate its meaningful support for the IETF's open Internet standards process, which is greatly appreciated and without which the IETF could not succeed," said Jason Livingood, IETF Administration LLC Board Chair.
