Also, there are several events in each country that can be used to disseminate the actions of IETF. In Brazil, for example, the events linked to universities and research centers are promoted by the Brazilian Computer Society (a lot of). Other less formal events but with participation of people interested in the IETF can be used also, but should be advised of this because the informal nature makes them fairly closed. Immediate action could be, perhaps, the availability of liasons in each country, evaluating assumptions and indicating alternatives available to the IAOC or another sector of the IETF. Such liasons should be grouped regionally leading permanent brainstorm on these issues. Subsequently divulge the results. I agree with Vinayak and Melinda concerns.
