So, you can see these peoples in ietf list. What about you call them via
ietf list? Also, if you want I can foward some message from you to the
ISOC chapter and GTER (Nic.br) lists, and some lists of Lacnic.

The most of people from SBC don't have problems with English. They are
academic / research people and students in computer science area. There
are a wide variety of interests within the computer science and I do not
tell you how many people from SBC would be interested in the IETF. For
this reason I commented about the form.

I'll prospect for you, some lists of interests which would be people
interested in the IETF and will let you know as soon as possible.

I think is necessary a formal contact of an IETF representative. One
here, one there, I can convince to join the list. And I will do this.
