Hi,
   I might be wrong but emerging countries traditionally have less limitations for most passport holder. 
  I wish we could see some IETF meeting in Latam, I think Sao Paolo and Cancun are great options, both have great hotels and good Internet connectivity (among others good things). Of course in other regions you can find good places too.
  I'm not saying that all meetings should be in such cities, but at least once every three years to start :)

Thanks,

Alejandro,

I guess that you may have interacted with students from emerging 
regions on a daily basis and you are probably well-placed to 
understand their problems.  Could you comment about that?

Thanks,
