The document discusses growing participation in the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) from Latin America. It notes that the IETF is a group of volunteers that establishes standards for the internet and is expanding to include more diverse perspectives. It provides data on historical participation levels of Brazilians and representatives from the regional internet registries (RIRs) at IETF meetings. It then proposes several initiatives to further increase participation such as presenting the IETF at more computing events, expanding grant programs to support attendance, and creating remote participation hubs. The overall goal is to involve more participants from developing regions in the internet standards process.

- 2. Why IETF? • IETF is the soul of the Internet. • It is a group of volunteers, strong and cohesive. • It is untouchable. They have no owner. Does it not exist! • It is in a clearly phase of expansion of diverse perspectives. • Much to teach, especially to young people. • The IETF model allows an infinite number of volunteers with absolutely no management impact.

- 9. Proposals • Systematically present the IETF at all events involving computing (ISOC, IETF LAC + other institutions) • New version of "The Book of IETF" including: Arabic, Chinese, Japanese and French. • Increasing grants (target): 100 people per meeting of the IETF (300 per year). • Significant portion of these grants should be directed to research and development institutions.
- 10. Proposals • Part of these grants may be directed to the participation of the IGF. • Do not let die initiatives such as the CGI.br. Try to expand with similar initiatives in African countries. • Copy programs like "NANOG College Immersion Program" (https://www.nanog.org/resources/nci). • Involvement of local chapters of ISOC in IETF. • HUBs creation for remote participation in the IETF meetings. It is an individual initiative. • Others.
