The IRSG is proposing that the IRTF adopt the code of conduct described =

in =

[draft-perkins-irtf-code-of-conduct](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/dra=
ft-perkins-irtf-code-of-conduct/).

If adopted, this code of conduct will apply to participation in all IRTF =

research groups, the IRTF open meeting, IRTF workshops such as the ANRW, =

mailing list discussions, and other IRTF activities.

The code of conduct provides guidelines for conduct in meetings and on =

mailing lists, use of language and imagery, academic integrity, research =

ethics, and accessibility.

The IRSG is proposing the IRTF adopt this code of conduct, distinct from =

that of the IETF ([RFC =

7154](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc7154/)), because the IETF code =

of conduct is focussed on appropriate conduct for the development of =

standards, while the IRTF needs guidelines for the conduct of research. =

The differences between the two documents reflect the different roles of =

IRTF and IETF. Policies that are shared between the two organisations, =

such as those relating to anti-harassment and inclusive language, and =

the role of the Ombudsteam, are included by reference.

This proposal has been under discussion by the IRSG since October 2023. =

Community feedback has been sought via the IRTF announcement mailing =

list, in the IRTF open meetings at IETF 118, 119, and 120, and in the =

plenary of the recent IETF 120 meeting in Vancouver. A number of =

research groups have also previously circulated calls for feedback.

If you have any final comments or feedback on this [proposed IRTF code =

of =

conduct](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-perkins-irtf-code-of-cond=
uct/), =

please send them to the IRSG (irsg@irtf.org) with a copy to the =

irtf-discuss@irtf.org mailing list. The deadline for comments is Friday, =

September 13, 2024.

IRTF Chair
