Today, there are meetings in various regions for IETF awareness. At times, ISOC chapters and /or NOGs are quite involved. We also have quite a bit of activity at remote hubs (or community hubs) or whatever we are calling them.
I would like to hear from Sheng about what his ideas are for these "secondary" meetings. Of course, then, we need to be clear about what the goals of such activities are and to coordinate well with other existing activities.

I'm not sure it's a great idea. IETF meetings are working
meetings, not conferences, and I'm not sure that having
additional meetings for people who are not active contributors
without the presence of chairs and document editors is going
to be productive, either in terms of the primary goal of
moving documents along or in terms of a secondary goal
of broadening the participant base.
