It's very different from how you might imagine a standards organization, and Alex and Jordan have some great questions to discuss. </p><p>The main article for Friday is <ul><li>P. Borsook, <a href="http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/3.10/ietf.html">How Anarchy Works</a>, <i>Wired</i> 3.10, Oct 1995.</li></ul> </p><p>Those who are registered for the course or interested in further technical background should peruse the following Wikipedia articles. While Wikipedia is not an authoritative source, it gives a reasonably accurate overview of many Internet-related topics, and it is cheap. <ul> <li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_protocol">Communications Protocol</a></li> <li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite">Internet Protocol Suite</a></li> </ul> </p><p>As usual, we are meeting on Friday at noon in JRC 224A. Hope to see you there!</p> http://132.161.132.157/drupal6/node/495#comments CS Table governance IETF Internet Internet Protocol politics protocols Wed, 01 Sep 2010 20:25:15 +0000 davisjan 495 at http://132.161.132.157/drupal6
