Abstract


This paper discusses the participation of Brazilians in IETF meetings comparing with other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. In addition, it describes the initiatives to incentivize participation in the development of documents and the movements that provide resources to finance such participations. It describes the Brazilian initiatives that stimulate participation and recommends others that once carried out in Brazil and other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean will increase the presence of more volunteers.
