Well, the IETF's work is done on mailing list much more than on physical meetings. And there is (virtually) no contribution from Africa there.

This is not the ITU or some other travel-talkshp, boys and girls, this is a pure meritocracy, zero tolerance for logorrhea or bovine manure.

It's not as bad as the linux kernel mailing list where Linus Torvalds takes names and uses my kind of language.

To the African "engineers" my advice would be to answer their email as as first step. 

It is *EXTREMELY* frustrating to try and correspond with African ccTLD managers even just to try and register a domain name or as in a current case I am trying assist with, to pay for renewals.

Our house is not in order.

>+1 hopefully the IETF will bring itself closer to Africa (to reduce cost of participation). Has any ietf held in Africa in recent time? Well we may argue that it may not receive  participation even if it held; we may be surprised ;)
