Appreciate!
Otherwise: 
- there are a lot of valuable experienced IT engineers who are not/not enough aware about the IETF work: how to them involved?
- we could exchange on how we're going to share our IETF experience when back to our countries..
Regards

An important consideration in this is that while your presence in meetings is valuable, your presence on mailing lists is also valuable and comparatively inexpensive. As a first step, you might consider looking through the set of drafts labeled draft-ietf-*.txt, which is to say "working group drafts". Their working group will generally be the third word, like draft-ietf-ospf or draft-ietf-v6ops. Access them online, and, if they interest you, comment on them. The most interesting comments will be those that improve them in some way - identify issues and suggest text. That will get african viewpoints into discussions regarding current work product.

BTW, the same goes for south americans and anyone else that feels under-represented. Get involved on mailing lists.

Daily news can be found at https://www.ietf.org, and specifically http://tools.ietf.org/dailydose/. It takes a minute to look at it, and from time to time you may find something of interest to comment on. You can also go to http://tools.ietf.org/html/.

If you need guidance regarding a given working group, the obvious people to get it from are the chairs, which you can reach by emailing the -chairs@tools.ietf.org list for the working group. For example, if you want to reach the v6ops chairs, email v6ops-chairs@tools.ietf.org. For a list of the working groups and access to their charters and their mailing list membership processes, go to http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/.

The next step might include writing your own drafts and submitting them for discussion. But you don't need to rush into that; get a sense of what's going on and then contribute to it.
