It is a vry good initiative, to get the technical people in our chapters interested in IETF. Even if we are not able to contribute, but we can understand and explain... 

I forwarded the mail to our chapter. Please carry on the good work.

Hi Alejandro 

Thanks for your kind words and I am glad that it is useful. Kudos 
goes to my colleagues in Standards & Technology headed by Leslie 
Daigle, who put it together. 

I think it would be great if you can share the Spanish text with 
others on this list. 

Many thanks, 
Anne
