Whyshouldyou careaboutstandards?

• Ifyou’reresearchingInternet-relatedtopics,wheredoyoulearnwhatthereal currentissuesare?• Hint:wirelessATMisnotoneofthem

• Youneedtotalktooperators,vendors,registrars,policymakers,regulators…• Assumingyouareinterestedinresearchthatcouldhaveanactualimpact

• Whereisiteasy tomeetthesefolks?• Standardsbodies,operatormeetings,industryforums

Butdon’tforgettothink

• Youwilltalktomanyfolkswhoaren’tresearchers• Theirmotivationsaredifferent• Oftenveryshort-termagendas• Fewcanabstractouttoprinciples• Worriedaboutsymptoms,notcauses• Ifallyouhaveisahammer,everythingstartstolooklikeanail• Manyaretheretomakemoney(orkeepothersfromtakingtheirs)

• Thinkhardaboutthe“problems”youlearnabout

Still…gomingle!

Code isnot(always)theanswer

• Codecomesunderalicense• Licenseincompatibilities:Imaynotbeabletouseyourcode• Readinglicensedcodetointeroperateisbad:maystilltaintmycode

• (Some)IETFstandardscomewithIPRdisclosures• Diseasewithdifferentsymptoms,butindustryisusedtothis

Participationtakestime

• Standardizationisverydifferentfrom“fire&forget”academicvenues• Thetimecommitmentissubstantial,bothintermsofemaildiscussionandmeetingtravel• Thereareprocesses,andtheyare“interesting”• Youwillneedtoconvince adiversesetofstakeholders• Theoreticallyoptimal≠practicallyoptimal• Businessaspects&deploymentincentivesarecritical

• Don’tforgetaboutresearcharms(e.g.,theIRTF)
