May I please know the dress code as well.
There is a brief overview of the IETF at http://www.ietf.org/tao.html, which
you may be interested to read. You should likely also plan to attend the
newcomer's tutorial on Sunday afternoon.
The dress code is spelled out pretty explicitly in that document -
http://www.ietf.org/tao.html#rfc.section.3.4.
Since attendees must wear their name tags, they must also wear shirts or
blouses. Pants or skirts are also highly recommended. Seriously though, many
newcomers are often embarrassed when they show up Monday morning in suits, to
discover that everybody else is wearing T-shirts, jeans (shorts, if weather
permits) and sandals. There are those in the IETF who refuse to wear anything
other than suits. Fortunately, they are well known (for other reasons) so they
are forgiven this particular idiosyncrasy. The general rule is "dress for the
weather" (unless you plan to work so hard that you won't go outside, in which
case, "dress for comfort" is the rule!).
