+
+This page provides guidance for WG chair to handling incoming or out-going liaison statements.
+
+All liaison statements need to be recorded in the datatracker: https://datatracker.ietf.org/liaison/
+
+For any question on handling of liaison statements or liaison management in general, please reach out to the IAB liaison coordinators: liaison-coordination@iab.org
+
+Additional information about the IAB's role in liaison management can be found here, including the information who is currently serving as Liaison Coordinator.
+
+For questions on one specific SDO where we have a liaison manager, you can also reach out directly to the liaison manager. All current  liaison managers are listsed here: https://www.ietf.org/about/liaisons/
+
+If we do not have a liaison manager for the SDO that you are interesed in, please reach out to the IAB liaison coordinators: liaison-coordination@iab.org

+## General Information about Liaison relationships and Liaison Statements
+
+Main Take-aways:
+* We have the liaison system to communication and work well with other SDOs e.g. for document access or process/technical question, but if possible informal communication is preferred!
+Liaison statements can be sent and received without a formal relationship
+* A formal liaison relationship is only needed if there are formal requirements from the other SDO or an extended need for collaboration
+* Formal process on our side is light but it is important that all LSs (incoming and outgoing) get recorded!
+* When sending a liaison statement always involve the liaison manager (or IAB coordinators)!
+* WG chair have to assess the needed level of consensus and it is recommended to indicate consensus level clearly in the statement!
