I Workshop pre-IETF
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is an international community interested in fulfilling the mission of defining standards that impact the design, use and management of Internet resources [RFC3935 ( http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3935.txt )]. The process of establishing standards for the Internet is long, complex and requires active participation, particularly of students and researchers. There are many people around the world actively working on it, however there is a growing need for more fresh participation.
The attendance from Latin America has been very low, as many potential targeted participants do not know about the IETF or were not motivated to do so. A group of volunteers emerged from the “IETF – LAC list” to build this Workshop, aiming to increase Latin American presence in IETF processes. Besides outreaching about IETF, it is important to provide an environment that allows our technicians, students and researchers to show their skills, in advance of any IETF meeting.
The papers presented at the workshop will be adapted or supplemented if necessary, and forwarded to the IETF, with effective support (by the Committee Pos Workshop) to increase Latin American participation.
