The IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) is the international community of network experts who have been designing the main Internet “standards” for the past 30 years or so. These include such landmark standards as RFC822 (email) and RFCs2045-2047 (MIME). New standards continue to be published and implemented today.

(please note the publication dates when reviewing these recommendations)
Of special note: RFC1149 has been implemented in Bergen, Norway: http://www.blug.linux.no/rfc1149/
