Internet Activities Board

Overview
In 1983, the Internet Configuration Control Board (ICCB) was reorganized around a series of technical task forces and renamed the Internet Activities Board (IAB).

The IAB was supported throughout the 1980s by the Federal Research Internet Coordinating Committee (FRICC), an informal group of U.S. Government managers supporting inter-networking that was absorbed into the Federal Networking Council in 1990.

In June, 1992, the Internet Activities Board was renamed the Internet Architecture Board by the Internet Society at the INET92 conference in Kobe, Japan.
