"3. ETSI Liaison Work
Zhenbin Li suggested that the IETF might want to consider trying to
establish a formal liaison with ETSI, noting a concern that there
might be
overlap between work in the IETF TEAS WG and the ETSI Industry
Specification Group on Zero touch network and Service Management
(ZSM).
Personally, I'm surprised that the IETF (through the IAB) does not have
a liaison agreement with ETSI. The external liaison list is at:
https://www.iab.org/liaisons/
Although there are always layer 8 and 9 reasons for having, or not
having, liaison agreements, ETSI's work often plays into IETF's work in
many different areas (I remember them from those always-entertaining
PKIX days).
