<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 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>
