==IETF Working Groups==

The work of IETF is divided between working groups, which are organized around specific topics. Participation in the working group is provided by volunteers; so when there is a small number of volunteers the results can be slowed down due to lack of progress. Similarly, when the number of volunteers is too large there are also problems since a consensus is harder to achieve. There are also cases when volunteers lack experience and basic knowledge in the specific area needed.

Moreover, each working group is being managed and coordination by an Area Director (AD) who are members of [[IESG]] (Internet Engineering Steering Group). In the same time, for each working group there is appointed a chairperson or in some cases co-chairs. The AD's are responsible with appointing the chairpersons for each working groups. In this way the ADs and the chairperson form the IESG(Internet Engineering Steering Group) and are responsible for the whole IETF work.
