In December 2023 the third annual IETF community survey was distributed to all
~49,000 addresses subscribed to IETF mailing lists. This survey aims to
deliver three outcomes:
• A current size and demographic breakdown of the IETF community.
• Data to inform the IETF community, particularly those in leadership
roles, on what are some of the key issues affecting the IETF and why sometimes
asserted issues are not actually issues.
• A step in a time series of data that can be used to assess the natural
changes affecting the IETF and the effectiveness of major programs,
organisational changes and community/leadership actions.
A draft report is now available that analyses the results and draws some key
findings from the analysis. As with previous years, we are seeking feedback on
a draft version of this report before a final version is published. The draft
report is available at:
https://www.ietf.org/media/documents/IETF_Community_Survey_2023_-_DRAFT.pdf
Please provide any feedback on the draft report either to the public
[email protected] mailing list or directly to me at [email protected]
or to the IESG at [email protected] by Monday 8 April 2024.
A special thanks to the 2000+ people who responded to this survey, providing a
rich data set.
