I agree with you SM, politics and considering countries names in that
way, that is out of scope of IETF. Comments below,

You mean like Pakistan, Iran, Libya, Syria, Saudi Arabia ....
There were people from Pakistan who participated in the IETF. I
recall an email exchange where a person from that country received an
unpleasant comment from someone who is part of the IETF "leadership".
That is rude behavior, which I may experienced in IETF.
In my opinion a discussion about Country X or Country Y would take
the thread downhill. It can also have a chilling effect.
I totally agree, by having more participants from all world's
countries, makes the IETF more diverse, and by silence to such rude
behavior means we are welcoming less diversity.

It would not look good.
It is not good behavior if IETF just watches lists and does not make
mentoring to its participants old/new comers.
