[tao-discuss] "2.1 Humble Beginnings" section geography

[Aris Lambrianidis <[e-mail]>]

Greetings all,

I was going over the document as I’m a first time attendee for next week’s IETF.

I do apologize if this has been covered (although I couldn’t find anything on the list archive),
but section 2.1 mentions:

"The IETF first met in Asia (in Adelaide, Australia) in 2000."

and goes on to say:

"Currently, the IETF meets in North America, Europe, and Asia.”

I am not aware of any continent models (as discussed here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent)
which consider Australia as part of Asia.

If this is indeed an error, the first sentence should be amended to include the first actual IETF held in Asia
(which seems to be IETF 54 in Yokohama, Japan held between July 14-19, 2002), and that second sentence should also include Australia (the continent).

Respectfully,
Aris
