<div dir="ltr">Hi John and Olivier,<div><br></div><div>The contributions from other members, the kind and unsaid request is for transformation in processes with the objective of being inclusive to Chapters and other participants from developing countries. Selection processes of applicants should not be too stringent of recognition of prior knowledge/participation in mailing lists because pre-meeting lessons, in collaboration with other organisations if there is no capacity to do so individually, for first time attendees might be of greater relevance when it comes to pre-learning online sessions. Other than that, IETF outreach initiatives needs to be strengthened in order to ensure the required and improved attendance and participation from developing regions materialises. ISOC Chapters cannot co-ordinate these outreach events at local level if they have to comply with these conditions to obtain first hand experience, especially those from developing regions who have economic challenges to attending these meetings without support by themselves.</div><div><br></div><div>I propose this approach be considered for escalated and deliberated upon by ISOC and IETF representatives or authorities if anyone concurs with the suggetion, thanks.</div><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="m_3361002369034943433gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div style="text-align:left"><b style="font-size:12.8px">Kind Regards</b><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">Thato Mfikwe</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">ISOC-Gauteng Chapter - President</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"><br style="font-size:12.8px"><b style="font-size:12.8px">Mobile: </b><a href="tel:+27%2081%20259%200149" value="+27812590149" style="font-size:12.8px;color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">+</a>2773.941.0041<br style="font-size:12.8px"><b style="font-size:12.8px">Email:</b><span style="font-size:12.8px"> thato</span><a href="mailto:kodishang@isoc-gauteng.org.za" style="font-size:12.8px;color:rgb(17,85,204)" target="_blank">@isoc-gauteng.org.<wbr>za</a><br style="font-size:12.8px"><b style="font-size:12.8px">Skype:</b><span style="font-size:12.8px"> mfikwet16</span><br style="font-size:12.8px"></div><div style="text-align:center"><br style="font-size:12.8px;text-align:start"><div style="font-size:12.8px"><b><img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B9oZLEsU7VuBVmdhMVRQV0RXU3M&revid=0B9oZLEsU7VuBamhEd0hiTFpRTmpKblRGamFjcEdXMUpKbjFvPQ" width="200" height="52"></b><font size="2"><br><br>"Trusted as the world's independent source of leadership for Internet policy, technology standards, and future development."</font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 14, 2017 at 6:19 PM, Olivier MJ Crepin-Leblond <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ocl@gih.com" target="_blank">ocl@gih.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
