For me that am from Africa, I do prefer to join the WGs in IETF, but it seems that most meeting of IETF don't come to Asia or Africa nor provide there a conference room with the live meetings ( IETF needs to work with Internet Society Chapters in thoes places). I think it is a challenge to IETF's Works/I-Ds to consider real inputs/suggestions/applications of Asia and Africa communities to the IETF. Under the IETF role it is very easy of WG chairs to ignore minority participants of large communities. AB
