I am available on Friday morning to talk / meet. Remote viewing hubs are quite important to parts of the developing world (Latin America, India, Africa) where people have quite a bit of difficulty with finding travel money.
You can see that there are nine remote hubs for Africa already defined. (BTW, congratulations on your hard work to the African community coordinators!) https://www.ietf.org/registration/MeetingWiki/wiki/doku.php?id=99remotehubs I am interested in finding ways to support these efforts. Of course, any way that we can do better with individual remote participation, that is great also. But, as everyone does, I have bandwidth limitations and will leave that part to others to volunteer to fix problems in that area.

I too?! tink participation for me in the effort would be more interesting if the scope was overall remote participation and the goal was to identify and prioritize gaps. (Unless i've been asleep at the wheel and we do have such a prioritized list.) If not, then i'd also put individual remote participation on the top of the list of where improvements would give the most bang for the buck.
