Eric I proposed a long time ago that we create a new IESG Role and was a
Director of Liaisons and it of course, was shot down. Maybe in this more ...
tolerant climate today (nasbcih) it should be reviewed again. Its likely to
be one of the more powerful and long-term IETF/IESG role's as well IMHO...

As to ISO people being here, ISO has always been friendly to the IETF but
there does need to be a formal bridge between the entities.

John,

Please remember with me back to the mid-1990s when ISO sent official
liaison reps to the IETF. The way I recall (perhaps incorrectly) things
working back then was that from the ISO perspective, these were official
liaison reps formally sanctioned according to ISO processes but from our
perspective they were technical people representing themselves just like
anybody else in the IETF.

We still have liaison activities happening today. For example, at the
NSIS WG meeting in Montreal, individuals mentioned the actions they were
personally taking to keep NSIS in synch with specific 3GPP activities.
My point being that just because we don't formally recognize liaisons
doesn't mean that individuals do not perform informal liaison services
on their own volition.

To the best of my knowledge from either an IETF perspective or as a
member of one or two of the mailing lists on which "ISO" would have
needed to see comment, there is no such document or agreement.  For such
a thing to exist, there would almost certainly have to be a formal
liaison agreement between IETF and either ISO or ISO/IEC JTC1 and that
agreement doesn't exist either (although several of us have, over the
years, attempted to make it happen).

Where do you get these ideas?

And please see my earlier comments about your "rights" in these issues
generally and to make this type of demand, even if the agreement and
documents did exist.

   john
