The IETF Website Revamp SOW has been modified in response to the input received
from
the community during the comment period. The IAOC would like the community’s
feedback
on this second draft of the SOW for redesigning the public-facing IETF website
(www.ietf.org)
before pursuing a Request for Proposals (RFP).
The current draft states that the website will be redesigned with these
audiences and aims in mind:
a. Active IETF Participants
Individuals who are already actively participating in the IETF:
The redesigned IETF website should be a more effective tool for "getting the
work of the IETF
done".
b. New or Potential IETF Participants
Individuals who could participate in and contribute to the IETF:
The revamped IETF website should help candidate participants become active
contributors.
c. Non-participants looking to find out more about the IETF
These individuals include policy makers, managers of current or potential IETF
participants, and
C-level executives from the organizations of IETF participants: The revamped
website should
provide members of this audience a better understanding of the IETF's role as
the Internet's premier
standards organization.
The website redesign project will collect information to provide a better
understanding of how each
of these audiences currently use the site, and how proposed changes will make
the site more effective
for all of them. Design decisions should prefer approaches that support IETF
participants' work to
produce excellent technical standards for the Internet.
The complete draft Statement of Work is available at:
<https://iaoc.ietf.org/documents/IETF-Website-SOW-02.pdf>
A Diff file reflecting the changes from the pervious version is available at:
<https://iaoc.ietf.org/documents/Diff-v2-v1-Website-Revamp-SOW.pdf>
The IAOC appreciates any input from the community and will consider all input
received by 30
May 2014.
All information submitted in response to this announcement is voluntary and may
be used in the
development of the SOW.
Thanks for your continuing advice and support.
