[Ietf-lac] IETF y diversidad (Fwd: Re: [Gendispatch] draft charter text: terminology-related WG)

[Fernando Gont]

Estimades,

En la lista de gendispatch de IETF 
(https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/gendispatch) se está discutiendo 
el tema de diversidad, incluyendo cuestiones como diversidad geografica, 
y otras tantas (cosas que afectan directamente a la participación desde 
la región).

No veo a nadie de la region.

No deberia el/los chairs de este grupo (ietf-lac), minimamente, 
participar en dicha discusión?

Sino pareciera que el grupo ietf-lac@ se tratara de un brazo de 
"outreach" de IETF, lo cual sería bastante preocupante.....

Saludos,
Fernando

How does the wariness affect IETF participation?

Is the (current) IETF viewed as an "unsafe" organisation?

What is your opinion about
