And here I thought that the standards were developed on the list.
(For the record, I am not opposed at all to holding a meeting in Latin
America -- I'm personally in favour of it. But we also don't hold
meetings in India or Myanmar, and for much the same reason: we have a
tiny minority of participants from those places, and given the funding
model the IETF can't afford to hold full-on meetings as a matter of
outreach. There may be ways to fix that, and I understand the IAOC is
investigating options. Note that the IETF is always looking for
sponsors for meetings!)
