This week marks the 30th anniversary of the meeting that became the
very first edition of IETF meetings now held three times per year.
On 16-17 January 1986 in San Diego, California, 21 people attended
what is now known as IETF 1.

As we work on the day-to-day tasks needed to make the Internet work
better, from time-to-time it is useful to consider our work on longer
timescales.

Here are my thoughts about the occasion:

And happy birthday, IETF, on Saturday!

What are your thoughts?

Jari Arkko, IETF Chair
