The IAB has been many things over the years. Originally the Internet Activities Board, it was responsible for the development of the protocols which make up the Internet. It later changed its name and charter to become the group most responsible for the architecture of the Internet, leaving the protocol details to the IESG. In June of 1992, it was chartered as a component of the Internet Society; this is the charter it holds today. The IAB is responsible for approving nominations to the IESG, architectural oversight for Internet Standard Protocols, IETF standards process oversight and appeals, IANA and RFC activities, and liaison to peer standards groups (e.g., ISO). See also: Internet Engineering Task Force, Internet Research Task Force, Internet Engineering Steering Group, Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, Request for Comments. [Source: RFC1983
