Indeed that's a great start.<br>
<br>
Additionally you could propose to the council to become a
subcommittee charged with evangelising to and selecting young-people
to visit conferences. The subcommittee policies are here

but if you have an idea of how to formalise and action such a plan
it'd be great to hear about it.<br>
<br>
As I pointed out in my candidacy spiel[0] I see the council existing
to enable the members to do things. This is one of those awesome
things that the council could enable you to do if you - or others -
were keen to run with it. I'd love to have a chat to you at LCA if
you're interested?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

Correct.<br>
<br>
I'm personally not complaining because at that time I wasn't a
member<br>
so<br>
was ineligible to apply.<br>
<br>
If the committee want to put on some of the idea's discussed
here I'd<br>
be<br>
happy to assist in that.<br>
<br>
In all honesty, Brazil isn't as good as USA, Japan or Germany
to send<br>
people<br>
as there are some relevant security issues particular to there
that<br>
deserve<br>
discussing first - then see.<br>
<br>
If I was to suggest anything, it would be to:<br>
<br>
a) assign a sponsorship budget for the year<br>
<br>
b) choose appropriate conferences in i) Europe ii) Asia iii)
USA<br>
<br>
c) work on what needs to be done to get under 25yr delegates<br>
to talks at the decided events.<br>
<br>
d) work on a support structure to allow it to be a small
group rather<br>
than just individuals. Often its safer to have a few
friendly<br>
faces about than just throw young people at a strange
city<br>
with languages they may not know and expect them to find
things.<br>
<br>
With enough notice, people can book things such as leave
if they<br>
have permanent (unrelated) employment.<br>
<br>
Realistically, in a first year of an outward looking viewpoint
as this,<br>
even only organizing one trip to one conference would be an<br>
achievement.<br>
<br>
For a range of reasons that I won't elaborate on here, Europe
and Asia<br>
are the best destinations with less complications than other
regions.<br>
