So basically the IETF is roaming most of the time in North

thinks about the global development of Internet standards?
No wonder why some countries in Africa and Latin America are
approaching ITU.
If the IETF really wants to make a change we need to stop
thinking that
North-America/Europe = Global.
Fred Baker mentioned that:
"The issues are now related to success in finding affordable venues."
ICANN finds them, the IGF does it, the RIRs do it. Why not the IETF?
The IAOC Chair commented about meetings in Latin America a few months
ago [1]. It might be possible (non-IETF effort) to reduce the cost to
participants to offset an expensive venue in Latin America.

I am sure they would find support, it is just a matter to look and ask.
