Technical Summary The first document in the set discusses the procedures the IAB uses to select organizations to form and maintain liaison relationships with. It further discusses the expectations that the IAB has of such organizations and of the people assigned to manage those relationships. The second document describes a proposed procedure for proper handling of incoming liaison statements from other standards development organizations (SDOs), consortia, and industry fora, and for generating liaison statements to be transmitted from IETF/ISOC to other SDOs, consortia and industry fora. The intent is that the IETF will switch to this process as soon as support is available for it. Working Group Summary These documents were developed under the supervision of the IAB. There were no negative Last Call comments. Protocol Quality The spec has been reviewed for the IESG by Harald Alvestrand
