This coordination issue with other organisations related to standards is very important and affects pretty much our work, I suggest that the General Area opens a WG for this important coordination, many information are needed to be documented and focused on. IMHO, getting information about contacts will help each IETF WG separately, but what about the decisions for the whole IETF coordination with other SDOs especially when we get more deep in future. Having contacts between managers in SDOs is good start but usually in IETF our managers decisions reform after looking into the IETF WG ideas and decisions. Therefore, my suggestion is opening a discussion of why not future coordination through WG? or is it right time? or do we need a new work-process?
I don't know the answers, does any one know?
Best Regards

For your information, and keeping everyone aware that there’s quite a bit of coordination going on between the IETF and other standards organisations. Though of course the bulk of the work happens when our participants are simply doing the work, and taking care of things both in IETF and in other organisations.
But in terms of coordination, a week ago with we met with folks from IEEE 802, for instance. The IETF and IEEE 802 leadership and liaison managers are in contact regularly, and every couple of years we also meet in person to better understand what work is happening on the other side, and make sure we stay coordinated. Last week, we held our fourth such meeting, continuing our tradition of meeting in outskirts of large airports in nondescript hotels :-)
More information about current projects of common interest (Internet of Things, deterministic networking, privacy, and so on), how we coordinate, pointers to people to contact, etc. here:
