==IETF Working Groups==

The work of IETF is divided between working groups, which are organized around specific topics. Participation in the working group is provided by volunteers; so when there is a small number of volunteers the results can be slowed down due to lack of progress. Similarly, when the number of volunteers is too large there ~~are also~~ problems since a consensus is harder to achieve. There are also cases when volunteers lack experience and basic knowledge in the specific area needed.
