I believe that we should have a short term and long term goal. Short term, since Chicago is literally upon us, I would say, let the remote hub meet in any way that it can. Long term, sure, let's figure out how to do it best. A number of us put thoughts down for remote hubs as Internet Drafts, if those drafts are helpful, great. If people want to start over, also great. But, the important thing at the moment is to connect with the people in the affected countries: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya. What we need to do is to find a contact in each of the countries who can serve as a focal point. If people agree, I can start a conversation about this on the IETF-Africa list. But, that does not take care of Iran, Iraq, Syria & Yemen. ISOC has had Fellows from that region, maybe ISOC needs to be involved in this conversation.
