In addition to managing the research groups, the IRSG may from time to time hold topical workshops focusing on research areas of importance to the evolution of the Internet, or more general workshops to, for example, discuss research priorities from an Internet perspective.
除了管理各研究小组外，IRSG还不时地组织专题研究组关注对互联网发展有重大意义的研究领域，更多的是一些普通小组，如：根据对互联网的观察讨论研究的优先权。
