Fernando, thanks for providing the information.

 From http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/diversity/current/msg00700.html

   'kind of got the feeling that that there was the intent to do
    something about it, but for the most part it was "energy spent
    without careful analysis of what the underlying problem was".'

 From 
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/diversity/current/msg00695.html 
I read that the agencies providing funding for countries in Latin 
America do not find it useful to spend money on IETF standardisation work.

The statistics provided by Jari Arkko measures IETF Contributions in 
terms of RFC authorship.  I could be a WG Secretary/Chair; that has 
less "value" unless I am interested in becoming An Area Director.  A 
company/agency would view it useful if it derives a benefit from 
having a person in that position.

What is your opinion about the above?

Regards,
-sm
