    • American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) contributes $1 million to IETF Endowment.
    • The donation reflects ARIN’s ongoing support for the development of open Internet protocols.

    What happened

    The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) has announced its second contribution of $1 million to the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Endowment. This contribution demonstrates the steadfast commitment of the ARIN community to the Internet protocols and the related work of the IETF. Initially, in 2016, the ARIN Board of Trustees approved a commitment of up to $2 million to the IETF Endowment. The first $1 million was contributed in July 2016, and now, the remaining pledged funds have been gifted, reinforcing ARIN’s dedication to sustaining the IETF’s efforts in developing and evolving open Internet protocols that underpin the functionality of the Internet.

    Why it is important

    This contribution is significant as it underscores the importance of the IETF’s role in maintaining and advancing the open standards that govern the Internet. The IETF Endowment helps ensure that the IETF has the financial support needed to continue its critical work, which includes the development of new protocols and the maintenance of existing ones. This support is crucial for the ongoing evolution of the Internet and its ability to meet the growing demands of a globally connected world. The IETF’s work is performed by thousands of volunteers from around the world who collaborate to create the technical building blocks of the Internet, and this contribution from ARIN helps secure the future of their efforts. By investing in the IETF Endowment, ARIN is not only supporting the technical development of the Internet but also contributing to the global digital infrastructure that enables innovation, communication, and commerce on a worldwide scale.
