It would seem likely when the participation is heaviliy biased towards
equipment vendors and software tooling that the participants would be more
representative of where the concentration of the development sideo of that
work occurs.

This is true, but this is also something where active participants can
help. Many of those companies also have R&D groups in Latam but
unfortunately they're not yet active in the IETF. This is probably for
historical reasons but it's feasible to change. If you know in your
companies, groups or individuals valuable enough to work in the IETF
please reach them and help them (or let me know and I'll do it).

Comparative advantage isn't just the domain of agricultural
products, extractive industries, and low-cost manufacturing. That seems
likely to be part and parcel of the diversity discussion.

Latam is not just agriculture and cows :-)
