Hi Alia,
There’s a draft that will be updated soon with some experiences and
recommendations.
Some comments inline:
> I am curious about how the various IETF Hubs have been doing?
> What activities have you tried and found useful/successful/interesting?
Hubs in Latin America have been diverse:
Some hubs were just a small gathering for remote WG session
participation only.
Some hubs were meetings with an introduction/presentation and then the
WG session (sometimes with local explanations and discussions in parallel)
Some had a previous introduction webinar to prepare participants
Some hubs were organized for IETF promotion and the WG session itself
was less important (more local activities)
Sometimes (in Brazil) they were organized as remote "IETF meetings”
were the students had a WG to attend in each slot.
Some hubs were co-located with other events (academia) were a meeting
room had the remote WG session
> What did you try that failed miserably?
In some cases the hubs had as few as three or four participants… but I would
not consider it a failure.
There were hubs that failed because remote participation was impossible (low
quality) and they did something else.

Yes… there’s always an organizer / facilitator
> Do you have different people stepping up to pull things together?
Yes… I’m including Juliao Braga from Brasil who is the main one in our region.

We’ve been using them for IETF engagement so they’re usually not experienced
IETFers, mostly students and professors, some network operators. I’m not aware
of developers but some students can count as such.

Please don’t consider our experiences as “best practice”. We do have completely
different needs and objectives for remote hubs in our region.
