The IETF Administration LLC is soliciting bids for the 'IETF Brand Values' RFP.  

Overview:

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is seeking to define and articulate its core brand values to support fundraising and inform related externally-facing communications materials. The IETF community and its work have long been guided by a mission statement and cardinal principles developed through community consensus [RFC 3935]. This work does not seek to change the mission or cardinal principles themselves or the current visual identity that instantiates them. Rather, the result of this project will be an enhancement and articulation of its values in ways that are more easily understood by and appealing to audiences outside the IETF, including those on which it depends for support of its work.

Timeline:

3 September 2021	RFP Issued
17 September 2021	Questions and Inquiries deadline
24 September 2021	Answers to questions issued and RFP updated if required
1 October 2021		Bids due
