While we can in any event have a nice discussion and drink afterwards, without non-members it’s not much of an outreach meeting and might seem a bit awkward to the visitors.  And we will not be broadening participation in the LAC region, which would be a great pity.  So people with regional contacts and knowledge, please do send out the invitation in any and all directions possible—bilateral to friends/colleagues/relatives, and to mail lists---and keep Valeria informed of any responses so these can be aggregated at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gRnbG-zlSzke5D2bQO30yXAu2kXxfuLNXIRL1jwj9v0/edit?pli=1 <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gRnbG-zlSzke5D2bQO30yXAu2kXxfuLNXIRL1jwj9v0/edit?pli=1>.
