The Internet Society is a professional membership society with more than 100 organization

The IETF is formally a part of the Internet Society.

During the early 1990s the IETF changed institutional form from an activity of the U. S. government to an independent, international activity associated with the Internet Society.

Because the IETF does not have members ( nor is it an organisation per se ), the Internet Society provides the financial and legal framework for the activities of the IETF and its sister bodies ( IAB, IRTF ,...).

IETF activities are funded by meeting fees, meeting sponsors and by the Internet Society via its organizational membership and the proceeds of the Public Interest Registry.

The Internet is an essential tool of amateur astronomers.

With the development of fast Internet in the last part of the 20th century along with advances in computer controlled telescope mounts and CCD cameras ' Remote Telescope ' astronomy is now a viable means for amateur astronomers not aligned with major telescope facilities to partake in research and deep sky imaging.

The digital data collected by the telescope is then transmitted and displayed to the user by means of the Internet.

An example of a digital remote telescope operation for public use via the Internet is the The Bareket Observatory.

A relatively recent role for amateur astronomers is searching for overlooked phenomena ( e. g., Kreutz Sungrazers ) in the vast libraries of digital images and other data captured by Earth and space based observatories, much of which is available over the Internet.

Australian English ( AusE, AuE, AusEng, en-AU < ref > is the language code for Australian English, as defined by ISO standards ( see ISO 639-1 and ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 ) and Internet standards ( see IETF language tag ).</ ref >) is a major variety of the English language and is used throughout Australia.
