Hi - In the interest of transparency, the IETF LLC board has decided to share a 
summary of the IETF Executive Director’s 2020 goals with the community. These 
are the areas on which the Executive Director will focus and the basis on which 
the board will assess their performance. These goals will be reviewed and 
revised (as needed) on a quarterly basis.

1. Governance: Support the board in the ongoing establishment of a best 
practice governance framework. This includes support for the board’s strategic 
planning and policy compliance. 

2. Contract Management: Upgrade our contract management and procurement 
processes to meet high standards of professionalism, probity, transparency and 
quality. 

3. IETF Tools: Modernise information technology systems and platforms on which 
the IETF depends to meet existing and future requirements and provide a solid 
foundation for future development, improved reliability, performance and 
accessibility.

4. Fundraising: Develop long-term fundraising mechanisms and meet specific 
fundraising goals set in collaboration with the Board.

5. Communications & Interaction: Improve external communications and engagement 
to support fundraising goals, IESG/IRSG participation goals, meeting venue 
selection, meeting experience, and community engagement, grounded in 
quantifiable data to support the LLC’s decision-making and approach.

6. Operations: Develop and improve key operational processes, including a 
detailed expenditure review to identify savings. 

Thanks,

Jason Livingood
Chair, IETF LLC Board
