Affiliate Groups

Affiliate Groups (AG)  are not official IETF groups, they are a way for IETF participants to self-organize around a shared, non-IETF activity (like hobbies, outside interests, etc). 

They are not IETF Working Groups: they do not do IETF work, they don't produce documents, and they don't represent the IETF in any way. They are intended for people like rock climbers, HAM operators, runners, and others with similar interests.

Hallway group chat

For real-time chatting any time (during or between IETF meetings) that doesn't relate to any specific area or working group, participants are encouraged to use the Hallway Groupchat channel on the IETF's Zulip server. See the Groupchat webpage for information on the IETF's use of Zulip and how to access it.

Community India

Targeted towards increasing participation from India. We organize get-togethers during the IETF meeting and use this list to coordinate local events in India.
