I head the secretariat create a discussion list for "Emerging Regions Internet Challenges And Solutions" aka ERICAS. Subscribe at https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ericas and email the list at eri...@ietf.org. Please feel free to invite everyone you feel should be involved in this discussion, IETF attendee or not! Also, while I'll be on the list and at least initially act as administrator in terms of whitelisting posts, etc., I do believe strongly that in order for this discussion/effort to be useful, it needs to be owned by and run by a group of people from those emerging regions. So I encourage everyone to step up and actively shape the discussion! Thanks, Lars
