As a result, people from these countries do not come and do not participate. Then, the prophecy becomes true. And so on. If we want to be serious about breaking the vicious circle, we should do meetings in places where there is *currently* few members (I do not suggest Namibia or Papua-New Guinea but, may be, Egypt, Argentina, India, places like that?) _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
