description: >-
  The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is an open, global community of
  network designers, engineers, researchers, and operators that develops and
  promotes voluntary technical standards to ensure the smooth operation and
  evolution of the internet. The IETF publishes freely accessible RFCs
  (Requests for Comments) that serve as the foundation for internet
  interoperability. The IETF Datatracker exposes a public read-only REST API
  over the working group, document, and meeting data managed by the IETF.
