	There are regional events such as LACNOG (once a year), LACNIC (twice a
year), LACTLD (one large meeting a year and some other workshops during
the year), CLARA (the academic network has different events to different
people -academic, CIO/CTOs, networks tech people), CITEL (goverments),
Caribbean events (CARIBNOG, CANTO, LACNIC Caribbean), etc.

	If needed, I could get places, dates and contact information of the
organizers.

	Initially talks during these events would work. They do not have to be
made by people traveling from other regions, in some cases local or
regional people could help.

	Also I would add that being there and making the effort of traveling it
would be good to organize some talks in local universities.

	ISOC fellows have done a great job, now it may be time to empower the
program where we could foster new IETF participants (not only bring them
to the IETF) by encouraging/train/prepare them to participate in the
mailing lists by reviewing and writing drafts.
