Hi Seun,<br>
<br>
Thank you for mentioning this again.<br>
<br>
If my memory serves me well, there was some gathering at AfNOG
meetings to get us involved in IETF, the AISF from ISOC and some
local initiatives.<br>

<br>
There was also a recent survey from ISOC called Operators and the
IETF. <br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/blog/2014/01/new-project-operators-and-the-ietf/">http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/blog/2014/01/new-project-operators-and-the-ietf/</a><br>
<br>
How many operators from Africa took the survey ?<br>

This initiative from LAC is interesting and while I would like to
see something similar in the Region, I understand that an AfIETF is
a long term process and will never happen until someone take the
lead and have the resources to conduct a readiness level assessment,
draft a long term action plan and go forward. Juliao, how did the
LAC community achieve this great initiative?<br>

<pre>2nd Call for Papers and Participation (apologies for multiple copies)

<h1>I Workshop pre-IETF</h1>
<p>The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is an
international community interested in fulfilling the
mission of defining standards that impact the design, use
and management of Internet resources [RFC3935 ( <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3935.txt"
target="_blank">http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3935.txt</a>
)]. The process of establishing standards for the Internet
is long, complex and requires active participation,
particularly of students and researchers. There are many
people around the world actively working on it, however
there is a growing need for more fresh participation.</p>
<p>The attendance from Latin America has been very low, as
many potential targeted participants do not know about the
IETF or were not motivated to do so. A group of volunteers
emerged from the “IETF – LAC list” to build this Workshop,
aiming to increase Latin American presence in IETF
processes. Besides outreaching about IETF, it is important
to provide an environment that allows our technicians,
students and researchers to show their skills, in advance
of any IETF meeting.</p>
<p>The papers presented at the workshop will be adapted or
supplemented if necessary, and forwarded to the IETF, with
effective support (by the Committee Pos Workshop) to
increase Latin American participation.<br>
</p>
