AT Protocol is getting an IETF Working Group
Some very exciting news - it looks like the working group for AT Protocol at the IETF has been approved! (though not formalized in the datatracker just yet)

This is a big milestone in the standards process. But is also just the start of the actual process - years of meetings & work ahead!

very excited to share this update about bringing AT to the IETF!

last week we uploaded two drafts to the IETF datatracker and today we heard that we’re approved to host a Birds of a Feather at IETF 124 (the formal meeting towards establishing a working group)
Taking AT to the IETF | Bluesky
Last week we posted two drafts to the IETF Data Tracker. This is the first major step towards standardizing parts of AT in an effort to establish long-term governance for the protocol.

Legendary to see Blacksky represented at the IETF (internet engineering task force)

They’re the architects of the modern internet who designed the standards of how computers talk to each other

TY @torrho.blacksky.team for representing our team as atproto works through the standardization process

Every calendar on the internet uses CalDAV which was submitted to IETF in 2007 and is still considered a proposed standard.

Pleased to announce that an Authenticated Transfer Protocol (ATP) working group has been created at the IETF!

Grateful to everybody who participated in the BoF and chartering process. Details on next steps and how to get involved inside.

Forty years ago, 21 people gathered for the first meeting of what became the IETF. Today, nearly 8000 IETF participants from around the world collaborate in more than 100 working groups and every day billions of people use technologies developed in the IETF. https://www.ietf.org/blog/ietf-40/

standards folks!

if you are in to this sort of thing, we now have an IETF mailing list to discuss AT protocol bits.

mailman3.ietf.org/mailman3/lis...

if you want to jump in, I recommend setting up an overall IETF datatracker account and reviewing IETF IP policies ("note well") first
