“To most Internet engineers,
the IETF is a revered organisation
and involvement is regarded as a
career high. We felt that our
participation at the IETF meeting
in Montreal was both a personal
achievement and a motivational
experience. It gave life to a
process that we had experienced
only on mailing lists. Having had
the opportunity to be at the
meeting, we were able to
appreciate the passion and the
energy that are put into the IETF
for the good of the Internet.”
