That's mostly a myth, I would say. In the same way that quite a few
times the folks at the Canadian border have been much less polite (if
you know what I mean) than at the US border.

Another related topic that might be of interest:
When granted a US visa, the US immigration office does not care about
the expiration date of your passport: hence you may be granted a 10-year
visa for 5-year passport (once the passport has expired, you just bring
the old passport (with the visa) with the new passport, and that's it).

However, at least in the Canadian Embassy in Buenos Aires, they will not
grant you a Canadian visa for longer than your passport's expiration
date. Which means that if your passport expires in, say, one year, your
Canadian visa will have to expire at the same time.
i.e., it is not possible to "bring the old passport with the visa,
together with the new passport". This means that you will have to renew
your visa much more frequently.

Cheers,

I don't think is a myth. In my experience it's more difficult to be 
granted a visa to visit the US than western Europe.

I understand that the question is in regard to different venues, and 
pose the issue of Canada vs USA visa as an example. But even if the 
issue is strictly Canada vs USA, I think the perception that obtaining a 
visa to the USA is more difficult that a visa to Canada is accurate.

I think the discussion was about "lowering barriers to attend meetings =
from developing regions".

I don't think in general there's a useful answer here. Whether or not =
visas are necessary, expensive or difficult to get for particular =
destinations depends wildly on the nationalities and travel histories of =
individuals. Everybody is different. Attendance at particular meetings =
varies for reasons other than visa/travel challenges. I doubt there is a =
good general solution, IETF-wide.

(For example, I hold three passports. I rarely need visas for anywhere, =
but when I do it's visas to African countries that take the most time. =
The only place I've been declined is Nigeria, and they were happy to =
accept me when I reapplied. I would have preferred them to just double =
the application fee rather than make me apply twice, but their visa, =
their rules. Travel to or through the US is more painful for me than =
Canada, but then again one of my passports is Canadian and hence my =
opinion there is not useful.)

It does seem possible that we could shift the balance of pain away from =
potential participants in developing regions and onto those from =
developed regions; perhaps a balance could be found where the pain =
subsidy could be judged to be appropriate and worthwhile if it promotes =
more diverse (there, I said it) attendance. I don't know how we'd do =
this in practice, though.

I believe the situation is that it's easier to get a visa to get
into Canada than into the US, but the customs and immigration
people at the border are more diligent.  The latter can be
annoying but it's really the former that impacts meetings the
most.

Hello=20

This is an interesting proposal. Nowadays I'm working at the =
International Centre of Theoretical Physics (Italy), specifically at =
Marconi Lab.

http://wireless.ictp.it/

At the wireless lab we're mainly interested in bringing the Internet =
technologies to emerging regions. So, I'll be willing to participate.=20

Alejandro, I have some questions regarding your mail, so I write them =
between lines.

spoofing like in the PEP approach at BT? or do you rather mean =

I mean, satellites are about 35.000 km of distance, signal has to go
to the satellite and return to earth. Even at speed of light it takes
about 250 ms one way. This is the time that _today_ it looks
impossible to improve/eliminate,.

I strongly believe we have to help ourselves. I have been advocating at my
work to follow IETF mailing list, participate remotely, access old meeting
proceedings and understand IETF culture.

Take bangalore for instance, even though all major vendors have shop here,
it is sadly not reflected in IETF participation.

The long term members of the same vendor companies can help here by making
sure their colleagues from emerging regions do get involved in IETF early
on. The local managers should be made to see value in investing in IETF
participation as a long term benefit.

Intra-continental capacity in South America costs nearly the same as 
Kenya.  It's at least ten times more expensive as in Europe.  There 
was some discussion (I don't remember the reference) about why the 
cost was so high in Nigeria.  Given the high cost it may seem 
economical to exchange traffic locally whenever it is 
possible.  That's not the case though.  The following was posted last year:

  GIXA   16 Mb/s
  KIXP    2 Gb/s
  MEIX   26 Kb/s
  MIX    (no information available)
  MIXP   (no information available)
  RINEX  99 Mb/s
  UiXP   35 Kb/s

Policy-wise, Kenya and South Africa are interesting to 
compare.  There are many more countries in Africa.  I don't think 
that it is possible to extrapolate from the countries mentioned in 
the report there is significant diversity within the continent.  It 
is strange that Egypt is not mentioned in the report.

The report does not say anything new.  The policy suggestions are 
about connectivity.  Is that the barrier to Internet development in Africa?

There is a thread on the ietf@ietf.org mailing list about the above ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg79456.html 
).  If I recall correctly some of you have been asking for the IETF 
to organize a meeting in South America.  I suggest that you provide 
feedback on the ietf@ietf.org mailing list about this.  If you remain 
quiet the IETF might not cross the Rio Grande. :-)

	We have provided feedback.

	So far a bit more of 40% of the people that has responded the survey is
from Latin America/Caribbean or South America.

I continue to think that we need to keep our focus on increasing
participation from those areas.  If having a meeting there helps
solve that problem, outstanding.  If having a meeting there doesn't
help, well, there we are.

Hi Melinda,

Agreed.

A meeting by itself will only bring one-off participation (people 
attend the meeting and disappear after that).  In my opinion the IETF 
would not consider that as participation.

If after having a meeting in South America there is no significant 
increase in participation it is improbable that there will be more 
meetings in that region.  People can find reasons for the lack of 
participation but that won't help much.

There was a stalemate in a WG discussion last year.  An alternative 
to resolve that was to have a face-to-face discussion at the next 
IETF meeting.  The issue was not resolved through a vote or a 
hum.  Working group participants had to express their opinion so that 
the Working Group Chairs could find an acceptable way to resolve the 
issue.  That required having the people who were participating in the 
mailing list discussions in the room.  If these people cannot come to 
a meeting in South America it is a problem as the work of the working 
group has to be delayed or else the working group has to be shut down.

There was an IETF interim meeting which coincided with a RIPE (RIR) 
meeting.  The interim meeting (see 
draft-jaeggli-interim-observations-01) was a failure.  My guess is 
that it would likely be the same if the interim meeting was held 
together with a LACNIC meeting.

S. Moonesamy

Hello SM,

I'd like to remember that the Regional IETF Meetings not necessarily
must to have the same format as Annual Meetings. The main concern is
that they are (a) motivators for participation in the Annual Meetings,
(b) strengthen and give more flexibility in the progress of WG (not that
the progress is slow, currently), and (c) encourage participation in
Annual Meetings, even remotely, including write drafts, doing reviews as
Melinda said.

Whenever possible I'm talking about the IETF in articles and lectures,
as you know. I'm returning to my academic life and therefore will be
more effective in spreading within the Brazilian Computer Society (SBC).

IETF will create a form and we can ask in the mailing list of SBC (and
others). Who knows we can have numbers and others informations?

Regards,

Julião

Isn't that a bit backwards in a sense? The easiest and most
important form of participation is remote - contributing to
list discussions, reviewing and authoring drafts. Going to
meetings is important too, but less so.

Sorry to jump on just this point, but I think its important
that everyone realise that if you can write good technical
emails about protocols then you have all you need to be an
as-fully-paid-up-as-anyone IETF participant.

Cheers,
S.

Hello Stephen,

Probably I'm lost. So I need some answers.

1. What we looking for?
1.1. Realize a IETF below the Equator line (Buenos Aires is a great option)?
1.2. Encouraging people of so-called "emerging countries" to participate
in IETF meetings (in person or remotely)?

2. Why?
2.1. (1.2) <=> (1.1)? My answer is NO!
2.2. IETF needs more people to work? My answer is YES! Protocols are in
change, new technologies (ontologies, Semantic Web, ...), new
techniques, etc.
2.3. We want more people to participate, effectively (a.k.a. Melinda
three points)? So, what do we need to do?

3. What kind of things should we discuss?
3.1. Costs of travel and stay? In the context of this can be irrelevant
(we can participate remotely...). In any place of the world, costs are
equivalent, I think.
3.2. Show what do IETF, ISOC, and others for people who do not know yet?
3.3. Food an meals in the IETF meetings?

4. Some observations:
4.1. The personal attendance at meetings of the IETF are falling after
year 2000. See the blue line at Figure 3 (Figura 3, in Portuguese) in
http://ii.blog.br/2013/01/10/ietf-d-58-como-participar-das-reunioes-do-ietf/,
at the end. I do not know about the remote participation. The red line
is participation of Brazilians (a real disaster!)
4.2. The participation of LACNIC is in the last position (2.? %).
4.3. Clearly the issues related to Infrastructure Internet are becoming
more complex. (2.2 above).

Finally, where should we discuss this? In ericas list or ietf list?

Regards,

Julião
PS: We can not forget that I express better in Portuguese. So I can be
causing, eventually, some problems of understanding, which will require
further clarification.

Sure.

In my mind at least there's a 0-th level requirement
that comes before these:

0. Make the Internet better by getting more geographically
diverse, technically good, input and participation.

And again you do not need to be at meetings to participate.
Email is fine.

Of course if you want to do lots of IETF stuff, then getting
to meetings becomes important.

1.2 for me. But I'm also in favour of 1.1, though at a lower
priority.

I don't get that.

Sort of. I think we need more people who are technically
clueful about stuff, for a wide set of different kinds of
stuff.

Seems ok, but too much focus on your 3.x often distract people
on IETF lists.

The dot-com bust was the biggest factor in the decline in
numbers compared to 1999/2000. That was economic (craziness;-)
and not geographic.

Yeah. Mind you, the level of Irish participation is also
pretty crappy;-(

I'd say generic issues here, BA specifics on the thread on the
IETF list.

The IETF revenue from meeting registration fees is around three 
million US dollars.  IETF expenses are around five million US 
dollars.  ISOC contributes around two million US dollars to the IETF.

LACNIC's budget is about four and a half million US dollars.  ICANN's 
revenue is around 232 million US dollars.  ISOC's revenue is around 27 million.

Let's assume that there are four Regional IETF meetings and they cost 
around two million US dollars.  The IETF does not have money to pay 
that cost.  That cost is about half of LACNIC's budget.  As I know 
that I cannot suggest that LACNIC helps out with the cost.  I don't 
know whether ICANN or ISOC would help with the cost.  Let's assume 
that money is not a problem.  You still have to get at least the main 
WG participants at the meeting.  Each individual will have to spend 
about ten thousand US dollars per individual.  In my opinion a format 
which is a scaled-down version of an IETF (Annual) meeting is not workable.

There are interesting points in your message:

  (a) motivators for participation

  (b) helping people from South America participate in the IETF

Both points require money.  Somebody will have to have to convince 
organizations to give, for example, one million US dollars.  The next 
step would be to identify people who are motivated to 
participate.  The "helping people" is the most difficult part.  I 
think it is doable with a lot of effort.  It is more than one year to 
do all this.  Most of the effort will have to come from people from 
South America.

This is what could be described as "outreach".  You could try and 
convince LACNIC or CGI.br to help out.

>IETF will create a form and we can ask in the mailing list of SBC (and
>others). Who knows we can have numbers and others informations?

Could you ask the people from SBC to comment on this mailing list 
about the above?

In another message you mentioned that there is very low participation 
from Brazil.  There are one or two persons from Brazil who 
participate in DNS-related discussions.  That's like participating in 
two IETF working groups.  Most of the IETF work is not about DNS.  As 
a starting point I suggest asking people from Brazil to come and 
discuss on this mailing list if they need help in finding out which 
IETF working groups may be relevant to what they are interested in.

Thanks,
S. Moonesamy

Hi SM,

I think there are a lot of people from LACNIC and from CGI.br / Nic.br
in this list. The Chair of Brazilian ISOC Chapter is member of CGI.br.
Certanly, they will transmit your message. When possible I will
remember, too.

In the next Brazilian Congress of SBC I will try to invite interested
peoples for BoF about IETF.  And in some especific Symposium, too.

IETF could develop a form to send via the mailing list of the SBC, as I
said. I suppose this is the correct way. If the IETF need help I'm
available.

Regards,

  You are absolutely right, and there are people who have written I+D
and RFCs without attending a single IETF meeting.
  The point here is that if you have a meeting in LATAM it might help
bringing more people to the IETF. Of course it won't be a radical
change and it won't bring 100 people. But at least bringing few people
is just fine.
  Additionally, to attend a meeting, to see the people, to talk with
them makes a big different, after it, it's easier to write emails, to
participate in the IETF community.
  After this discussion started I haven't stop comparing it with the
Olympics games. The Olympics logo (flag) which have 5 interlaces
rings, each of them representing a continent. Until now, after more
than 2000 years LATAM have not has an Olympics games (I know we are
not comparing apples with apples, just a thought)

I went through the mail archives for this mailing list.  I saw only 
one person from LACNIC.  I did not see anyone from CGI.br/Nic.br.

That is a positive initiative.

As you have attended an IETF meeting you might have noticed that the 
IETF works in an informal way.  In my opinion there isn't a correct 
way.  Vinayak Hegde explained some of the problems that people who do 
not usually speak English encounter and that it is a barrier to 
participation( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg79479.html 
).  That barrier will remain as long as the people from, for example, 
the Brazilian Computer Society do not show interest in participating 
in the IETF.  If there is interest an IETF Area Director or someone 
else will try to find a way to help the people from the Brazilian 
Computer Society.

We can discuss about whether it is for the IETF to contact the 
Brazilian Computer Society or you could convince some people from the 
Brazilian Computer Society to comment on this mailing list about the 
problems they face.  I think that having people discussing here would 
be the easier alternative.

Regards,
S. Moonesamy

So, you can see these peoples in ietf list. What about you call them via
ietf list? Also, if you want I can foward some message from you to the
ISOC chapter and GTER (Nic.br) lists, and some lists of Lacnic.

The most of people from SBC don't have problems with English. They are
academic / research people and students in computer science area. There
are a wide variety of interests within the computer science and I do not
tell you how many people from SBC would be interested in the IETF. For
this reason I commented about the form.

I'll prospect for you, some lists of interests which would be people
interested in the IETF and will let you know as soon as possible.

I think is necessary a formal contact of an IETF representative. One
here, one there, I can convince to join the list. And I will do this.

I would like to mention that I can only comment as an individual.  I 
do not represent the IETF or speak on behalf of the IETF.

If you look at the IETF discussion archive you will see that a 
message was sent to politicas mailing list.  There are people from 
Nic.br and LACNIC subscribed to that mailing list.  If they are 
interested in helping out there already know how to do that.

Hi folks,

In my point of view the main reason why Brazilian people (from academia) don=
't get involved with IETF is related to the fact that IETF and it's process a=
re not evaluated in view of Brazil's academic council (cnpq). Drafts, BCPs o=
r even RFCs writings or IETF meetings doesn't mean anything in the to they '=
academic production'.

Its like an egg-and-chicken problem: if they don't publish papers on 'recogn=
ized conferences' they cant earn resources ($$) to research. In my opinion t=
he fight here is: how ISOC/IETF people can help us to talk with Brazilian Re=
search Council to recognize the IETF process as an academic initiative.

I think that Brazillian ISOC chapter had tried to speak with SBC/CNPQ before=
...but anyway any help would be great.

Cheers,

Humberto Galiza

Right - it's not research.  I would *love* to see more input
from Brazilian operators (telcos and ISPs).  We don't currently
get enough operator review of our documents and it's one area
in which you could both help the IETF and have an impact
(visibility).

Maybe it's just me but I am not convinced that computer
science researchers in academic careers have that much of
a role to play in protocol standards.

I agree with you: it=B4s not research, but you should agree with me that
many people that are engaged and producing standards are from academia
(see the past meetings attendee list), so I think these people play an
important role in the process.

I think so, at least people from network (and security?) areas. There
are a lot of subjects that are being discussed on IETF=B4s mailing lists
at this time that are common interest with academia, do you agree?

I attended for many years from a university, but only for a
few of those in a pure research role even though the email
address and institutional affiliation stayed the same.  From
having participated in the IETF for many, many years, it's
my feeling that there are very few academics, in large part
because the IETF really just does not do research.  If you
look back to the early days the affiliations were academic
because that's who the "internet" was at the time.  Now,
IETF participation is overwhelmingly from vendors (equipment
manufacturers).  I think to change that would mean changing
the incentives to participate in the IETF, which doesn't make
that much sense to me.

Seriously: there's a need for operator participation.  It's
a bit less clear that there's a need for academics.

In Brazil, for example there are a lot of operators / vendors that only
do business for here, nothing more. All of them are mere subsidiaries /
offices / representatives of international corporations. They write
codes here? Never! They adapt codes to the location.

So, no chance to have people interesting to the IETF in the sense based
in your qualifications. Thus there is a significant divergence between
the people here and the people of other countries in relation to the
interest over the IETF. Probably, if we understand these differences we
can adjust our viewpoints.

I think we are actually agreeing with the same things but speaking
orthogonally, by elementary cultural / geographical reasons, to say the
least.

I'm not sure the IETF would count as an academic initiative, but the IRTF m=

If there are other things we should do - esp. if it helps the recognition o=
f RFCs as scholarly articles in emerging regions - please let me/us know!

I humbly disagree. Just as you want the people who understand the day-to-da=
y practicalities of running the net, you do want folks who can abstract out=
 an understand networking at a conceptual and architectural level.

Plus, professors are multiplicators, and if they are aware of the IETF, the=

nk you'd be surprised about the number of IETF participants that are still =
attending now because they got exposed to the IETF through professors such =
as Henning Schulzrinne, Jon Crowcroft, Carsten Bormann, Colin Perkins, Oliv=
ier Bonaventure, Joe Touch, etc. etc.

There is a message from the RFC Series Editor making RFCs more 
broadly acceptable in the academic world ( 
http://www.rfc-editor.org/pipermail/rfc-interest/2013-May/005587.html ).

If someone comes to an IETF meeting with the objective of having 
his/her paper published on "recognized conferences" it is unlikely 
that the paper will be published as an RFC.  I won't go as far as 
saying that the IETF does not need academics.  I know a few people 
from universities who write and review drafts.  The drafts are 
usually implemented; people will use them to write code.

Stephen Farrell asked a question about Internet protocols ( 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ericas/current/msg00003.html 
).  Can SBC/CNPQ help with that?

Regards,
S. Moonesamy

This is an issue in New Zealand as well. Academic funding comes from
"Performance-Based Research Fundi" (PBRF) and when we have people
talking about the "least publishable unit of research" I think it
shows up a broken system.

That's the same more or less everywhere I think. Certainly
here too. I think people have been aware of it for a long
time, but with no particularly good ideas emerging as to how
to do something about it. ("It" being that IETF work is no
longer seen as good academic stuff, and our publications
don't count for tenure etc.)

Personally, I always treat RFCs as if they were 1st class
journal publications and say that on CVs, and where relevant
on funding applications, etc. However, mostly that gets
entirely ignored or people disagree with me. Sigh. I still
think its worth the argument though:-)

> Right - it's not research.  

Mostly. However, IMO doing work in the IETF enables much better
research. I have met many academics that don't really have
much clue as to how things work or what'd be useful. Many of
'em happily run ns2 and not much else but are apparently
experts in networking.

Also true.

I disagree here. Good academics bring at least two things
that we need more of - better knowledge of the state of the
art and more objectivity. Lots of excellent IETF participants
have both already, but there are also many participants
who could do better in these respects.

If you think about the late-surprise problem, I reckon that
had we more good academic participants, at least some of
that would be avoided.

Cheers,
S.

Hi Melinda,

Perhaps what I said about academic engagement at IETF were
misunderstood. In my case, my first "real" contact with IETF was in
early 2009, when I was looking for something to work in my final
undergrad course. I found some stuffs in IRTF talking about Internet
growing problem statement and a 'new approach' of IP functions
splitting that they called LISP. When I talked about this with my
advisor he was very excited about this subject, and we started to
study this subject.

As a result of this study: 1) I had the opportunity of attending my
first IETF meeting as an ISOC Fellow and understand a bit more about
all the process, and tried to give my contribution in the LISP
project; 2) We got a paper published in a Brazilian Computer Networks
Society Workshop (2010); 3) My advisor encouraged more pupils to get
involved with IETF standardization process (for example: there is
another guy from my university that recently defended his master
thesis about LISP mobility). These people (including me) never wrote a
RFC (or even a simple draft - I hope to write one day), but for our
community (academic community / regional operators community) it was
very important because we could disseminate a specific thing about a
protocol that is being discussed at IETF WG and disseminate the IETF
itself.

Until this, I had read some RFCs/BCP (since I=B4m a network operator
too) but I have no idea about how it was discussed, who was discussing
about it, and where to find these people.  I=B4m completely sure that
IETF is not an academic forum, but I=B4m sure that these academic people
could help the standardization process, and help themselves working on
specific problems at IETF and publishing about it.

Cheers,
Humberto Galiza

The mailing list archive for the LISP WG is at 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/lisp/current/maillist.html  What 
the IETF will see is that there isn't anybody from Brazil 
participating in the LISP WG.  It may be very important for Brazil to 
disseminate the IETF.  That unfortunately does not bring much value 
to the IETF.

I understand that it is difficult for people from emerging regions to 
identify how they can bring value to the IETF.  Antonio Moreiras 
mentioned the following:

   "Probably it will be a great opportunity for a lot of people to
    participate for the first time, and come to know the process,
    and become involved."

A significant number of IETF participants will read that as:

    Probably it will be a great opportunity for a lot of people from
    Argentina to attend an IETF meeting for the first time, and come
    to know the process, and become involved.

The IETF held a meeting in Taiwan.  There aren't a lot of people from 
Taiwan who have become involved since then.  The IETF held a meeting 
in Dublin.  There aren't a lot of people from Ireland who have become 
involved since then.

S. Moonesamy

A friend and I have been trying to get a local university to deploy 
IPv6.  The people at the university are teaching people about IPv6 
and yet they do not have any interest in working with the technology.

Lars Eggert mentioned that "you do want folks who can abstract out 
and understand networking at a conceptual and architectural 
level".  It is difficult to get that type of expertise from people 
working for companies which sell products or from people who use 
these products in their networks.  The quality of drafts from 
non-academic organizations is sometimes awful.

Having a large number of vendors participating in the IETF makes it 
difficult to get objective opinions about drafts which are intended to be RFCs.

Andy mentioned that the funding system is broken.  I would say that 
it is broken even more in emerging regions where it creates more 
future experts in networking who's only interest is getting their 
names on "units of research".

Hi SM,

IMO, there is just one way to disseminate IETF in Brazil (although I
believe that=B4s apply to all emerging countries): getting key people
from these countries working to disseminate it.  Whose are these
people? Answer: mostly, people from universities - lectures and
researchers. Why? Because mostly (pure)network operators from these
countries (at least from Brazil) are just 'pieces of system', they
usually have a lack of knowledge and don=B4t want to discuss protocols,
best practices and so on; or they have a heavy diary workload and they
just want to get their job done.

I think this behavior is in part-fault of industry / vendors, because
most of them that have any kind of operation on emerging countries
don=B4t stimulate their local engineers / or even their customers (a.k.a
network operators) to get involved with IETF process. If there is
anybody in this mail list from big vendors like Juniper, Cisco,
Extreme, and others, please let me know what you have done to
stimulate your engineers from emerging countries to get involved with
IETF.

I=B4m pretty sure that following this way we can be more effective
bringing value to IETF in a short time.

Cheers,

Ps: I=B4m still in the LISP-wg mail list, but I=B4m not working on it anymo=

The problem with the "universities - lectures and=20

What I understand from the above is that there=20
isn't any motivation for network operators from=20
Brazil to participate in the IETF as they just want to get their job done.

I agree.

I would suggest something different.  If you=20
participate in the IETF it brings value to the=20
IETF.  If you have the time let's talk and see=20
what could be done to make it easier for you to participate in the IETF.

I looked at the registration list for the last IETF meeting for 
participants from Africa:

  Benin                     2
  Democratic Rep. of Congo  1
  Republic of Congo         1
  Gambia                    6
  Nigeria                  11
  Sudan                     1

None of those 22 individuals have posted any message to the IETF 
mailing lists I read.  I doubt that they have posted any message to 
the other IETF mailing lists or that they will do that after 
attending an IETF meeting.  It's fairly well-known within the IETF 
that people from Africa do not participate.  There are a few people 
from South America who do participate.

The ITU has a budget of over 300 million Swiss Francs.  It can afford 
to pay the air fare for people from developing countries.  If the 
IETF is turned into a development organization for emerging regions 
it will be able to hold meetings in emerging regions and pay for 
participants from emerging regions to attend its meetings.  More 
attention will be given to people from emerging regions who are 
influential.  This means choosing political people instead of technical people.

A person from South America asked how to comment about a ITU document 
which is about IPv6 security.  The answer was that the only way to 
comment was to forward the comments through a (ITU) sector 
member.   If you are from an emerging region you probably know how 
difficult it is to contact the ITU representative in your 
country.  It is difficult to know whether the comments you provided 
will be forwarded to the ITU.  I don't think that the ITU is bad or 
that the IETF is perfect.

Just to clarify. Scott (the IETF's ITU liaison) and the relevant
ADs (Sean and I in this case since it was a security thing) are
happy to pass back good comments as appropriate.

Formally, from the ITU-T point of view, those are ISOC comments
since ISOC are a sector member. In reality, they're comments from
folks on IETF lists. And like all such, they should and mostly
do get handled according to how technically sound they are.

However, most liaisons seem to me to be enormously boring and
largely unimportant, so I'd much rather we got normal technical
contributions on IETF lists about current and proposed IETF
protocols and that folks do not spend loads of time liaising.

There was a short discussion in 2009 about when=20
the IETF would hold a meeting in Brazil.  It was=20
mentioned that meetings follow the "center of=20
gravity", i.e. if there participation from Brazil=20

As an example, there is an IETF working group=20

SPF.  There was a proposal in Brazil related to=20
SPF (=20
ftp://ftp.registro.br/pub/gter/gter34/03-SPFrev.pdf=20
).  Nobody within the IETF working group is aware=20
of that proposal.  The working group would=20
probably know about the proposal if it was being=20
discussed in North America or Europe.

In my opinion this highlights how the language=20
barrier and the usual IETF approach can be a=20

IETF could put in more effort in finding out how=20
to reach out to people from Brazil; for example,=20
by looking into what you suggested.
