Sigcomm has a variety of current mechanisms intended to increase
international participation:
- rotate the Sigcomm conference outside North America
Sigcomm began in 1975, and for its first 15 years was in NA
Since 1991 in Zurich, it has rotated US-east, US-west, EU
and starting in 2007 it rotates US, EU, 'other'
where 'other' is global (and our first venture is Kyoto)
- develop regional workshops and conferences
notably the Sigcomm Latin America workshop and Sigcomm Asia
- support global representation at the Sigcomm conference
notably through the GeoDiversity travel grant program
All are noted on our Sigcomm web pages. This list (sigcomm at postel.org)
would be a great place to discuss other ideas as well.
