Dear all,
Just a quick question: are you intending on providing feedback to the IAOC?
If so, maybe it makes sense to coordinate a bit in order to prevent a
duplication of entries? Or will it be useful if multiple people point out
the same themes?
Best,
Corinne

I think these issues should be balanced with the overall benefit
that the IETF World Tour provides.
As I've said repeatedly, I don't think the world tour actually
does bring much benefit. I'm very hopeful that some of the
South Americans who attended their first IETF meeting because
it was held in Buenos Aires will continue to participate (as in:
bring in work and participate in ongoing work, and not as in: sit
in meetings) but historically that has not been the case.
Just to put some numbers into this conversation, we have 8 people from
Latin America who have signed up to be a part of the Internet Draft Review
teams. The first review team to form will likely be the Spanish-speaking
DNSOP review team.
This is one week after IETF 95 and after 3 days of soliciting review teams
and basically zero publicity.
I wonder if there has not been more participation in active IETF work
before from other regions because there was no structured way to start
participating and language insensitivity. (BTW, there is a new member of
the Mentoring Team from Latin America, that I met in Buenos Aires who will
translate the Mentoring emails into Spanish.)
But the effort of the Mentoring Team is standing on the shoulders of
giants. People such as Carlos Martinez, Christian O'Flaherty, Alvaro
Retana, Dr. Juliao Braga, and many others who have done such a tremendous
job of outreach to their community in Latin America.
So, let's do some changing of history.
