Re: IETF Meeting in South America

[Doug Barton <dougb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

While it's unlikely that I would be able to attend, I think it's an 
excellent idea for reasons already better stated by others, and BA is a 
very nice city.

The only suggestion I might add that I haven't seen mentioned yet (and 
pardon me if I missed it) would be to perhaps schedule the meeting to 
piggy back on one of the excellent regional meetings that is already 
well established. Arturo gave a good list, IME LACNIC and LACTLD would 
be the best/most obvious candidates. By running the IETF meeting either 
the week before, or the week after one of those meetings we would be 
able to get quite a bit of cross-pollination, especially with the 
availability of day passes.

hth,

Doug
