I changed the email thread as Loa, Scott, etc have clarified this draft was not intended as a liaison process. (and again, before I can finish typing, I see Scott has sent an email requesting the use of the problem statement list, this will be my last here)

I thought Loa (or someone) clarified - another SDO has two choices: (1)choose to go IETF standards track or (2) non-standards track (informational, experimental).

If the choice is standards track, they can initiate contact via a liaison.

The IETF Liaison process will provide guidelines on receiving/distribution/sending. And processing of the content. Depending on the request, varies actions may be appropriate, and can be clarified in the liaison process.

So, if another SDO thinks that an IETF protocol (possibly with extensions)
would be a good solution to their problem, they would ask for this how?
