We often see proposals for APIs (most commonly C APIs) discussed in the IETF.
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 is the standards body for various programming languages,
notably including C (WG14) and C++ (WG21), and those groups have been working
on APIs for various IETF technologies, including URIs, sockets, IP addresses,
etc. The IAB is considering whether to request a liaison relationship with
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 and is seeking to determine if there are candidates willing
to serve as a liaison manager before determining whether to request the
relationship. For details on what a liaison manager position entails, see RFC
4052, RFC 4053, and RFC 4691.
Volunteers are requested to send email to iab(_at_)iab(_dot_)org by May 28,
2014.
