IETF Repo Files

This repository contains files and templates for IETF working group chairs and participants to use in GitHub repositories used for IETF work.

• LICENSE.md is the official boilerplate text to be included in all IETF repositories, per the IETF Trust. (Automatically updated.)

• NOTE-WELL.md is the text of the IETF note well as Markdown, if you should need it. (Automatically updated.)

• It is customary to include a CONTRIBUTING.md file in a repo that explains how individuals can participate in the activities and contains additional useful information for participants to be aware of. Due to the specific nature of the content, no template is provided here. One of these examples may provide a starting point:

  • ACME Working Group: ACME Protocol
  • CORE Working Group: OSCOAP, multipart-core
  • HTTP Working Group: Extensions
  • QUIC Working Group: Base Drafts
  • TLS Working Group: TLS 1.3
  • Martin Thomson's i-d-template: template

• Some IETF participants have created an automated service that can email activity reports, issue summaries and other information about GitHub activity to mailing lists. This is typically appreciated by IETF participants that do not actively follow GitHub discussions and activities very closely. See Github Services for the IETF on how to get started.
