Dear Fernando, If I have to decide about a meeting in Buenos Aires based in the information that I read in the Brazilian newspapers and magazines I decide to no. By this reason I need to listen from Argentine people, as you. I believe this is the right way to decide.
The choice of Buenos Aires is a definitive fact, and I have no decision concerns this selection. My approach was to reinforce the fact that only you, in Argentina can really guide us, if the decision were to be revoked. Buenos Aires was a beatiful choice! It was not an arbitrary comment. It was real and oriented so that any queries related to media reports, our people of Argentina should be heard. Therefore, you should have no doubt that I'm hoping to have a meeting of the IETF in Buenos Aires.
