The ASRG holds meetings on a regular basis, sometimes co-located with other events (e.g. IETF meetings, other conferences, etc.) and sometimes independently. On this page you will find minutes and presentation from past ASRG meetings, and information about future meetings.

ASRG meeting procedures can be found in RFC 2014 (BCP 8).

The next ASRG meeting will take place at the 60th IETF meeting in San Diego, CA during the week of August 1-6, 2004.

No other ASRG meetings have been scheduled at this time, however it is expected that ASRG meetings will take place colocated at regular IETF meetings subject to the current IRTF policy.

Meeting minutes can be found here.
