IEEE would be the relevant standards organization, if we had any
relevant input into what is done at layer-2.  IEEE usually sticks to
layer-2 and IETF to layer-3 and up (layer-2.5 if that is what you want
to call MPLS).

We would contact WiFi if we had as idea for logo artwork for an IETF
homenet/manet/roll/rtgwg blessed profile.  This is not typically what
IETF does.

IMHO - neither is a good candidate for a liason relationship.

btw - this message is cross posted to three lists: homenet, manet,
rtgwg.  I suggest we drop the cc to homenet only and anyone on rtgwg
and manet can join homenet and continue the discussion.

In Fred's defense, when he started this thread he asked that responses
be sent to him only and not to the lists.

[I'm not subscribed to manet, so this email may not get there.]
