        So basically the IETF is roaming most of the time in  North America,

thinks about the global development of Internet standards?

        No wonder why some countries in Africa and Latin America are
approaching ITU.

If the IETF really wants to make a change we need to stop thinking that
North-America/Europe = Global.

Fred Baker mentioned that:

  "The issues are now related to success in finding affordable venues."

The IAOC Chair commented about meetings in Latin America a few months ago [1]. It might be possible (non-IETF effort) to reduce the cost to participants to offset an expensive venue in Latin America.
