Choosing a good PhD supervisor is a crucial matter.
But what if the best supervisor, the person that really knows better than anyone the field you want to investigate, is a foreigner and you don't personally know him?
My point is, does anybody has the experience of addressing researchers they don't personally know to supervise their PhD thesis (at least one of the members of the Supervising Committee)? Would it make sense? Would the person accept the invitation, under reasonable arguments, of course?
I kind of have this dilemma and would like your help to discuss this...
