The awareness creation should start at the grassroots level : "The

forever be with them even after graduation.
To elicit participation from the under-represented regions, the
universities are a sure starting point, then a lot more
industry-focused awareness creation by the ISOC local Chapters.
AfNOG has trained hundreds of people in Africa. Those people do not
participate on the mailing list. There are some people from Africa
who have attended IETF meetings. They don't participate in the
IETF. Why is it that there are some participants from South America
whereas there aren't any participants from Africa?
