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).

Is the organization that originally developed the internet protocols. These protocols are now handled by the IESG. IAB, part of the Internet Society, handles management responsibilities of the Internet Engineering Task Force, Internet Engineering Steering Group, Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, and Request For Comments Editing with the input of the Industry Organization for Standards. The Internet Architecture Board, as its name suggests, is responsible for oversight of the Internet Standard Protocols. To visit their website click here
A technical advisory group of the Internet Society, whose responsibilities include: Oversee the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF); Oversee the Internet standards process Publish; and manage Request for Comments (RFCs)
(www.iab.org) Founded in 1983 as the Internet Activities Board, it is a mostly volunteer organization that provides architectural guidance to and adjudicates conflicts for the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It appoints the IETF Chair and all other Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) candidates. It also advises the Internet Society (ISOC) relating to technical and procedural matters.
The IAB is chartered both as a committee of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and as an advisory body of the Internet Society (ISOC). Its responsibilities include architectural oversight of IETF activities, Internet Standards Process oversight and appeal, and the appointment of the RFC Editor. The IAB is also responsible for the management of the IETF protocol parameter registries.
(IAB) A technical advisory group of the Internet Society providing (amongst other things) architectural oversight, standards process oversight and appeal, management of the RFC document series, administration of IANA, representation of the interests of the Internet Society in liaison relationships with other organizations and a source of advice and guidance to the Board of Trustees and Officers of the Internet Society.
The group that oversees Internet technical issues. IAB oversees the IETF and the IRTF and acts as a liaison with other non technical Internet bodies.
The technical body that oversees the development of the Internet suite of protocols. It has two task forces: the IETF and the IRTF. "IAB" previously stood for Internet Activities Board. See also: Internet Engineering Task Force, Internet Research Task Force.
