It also seems unlikely to me that that million dollars is otherwise available. I like the idea of setting up a remote participation center (doubly- so if one or more very experienced IETFers who spoke the local language could be on-site) but it seems very unlikely to me that, say, a Frobnitz Networks employee would be able to convinced Frobnitz Networks to send the $400 saved by not going to Buenos Aires to such an undertaking.
