In the IPWAVE WG about vehicular networks (automobiles, trucks, others)
there is relationship to ETSI TC ITS 'Intelligent Transport Systems'.
Some of the ETSI's documents were referred to by several Internet Drafts
in that WG.  A person attending both helped a lot pursuing through the
relationship.

In the 6MAN WG about IPv6 maintenance there are participants to the ETSI
ISG IP6, an Industry Study Group on the topic of IPv6 Integration.

It might be that a unique liaison to ETSI might need to broadly cover
several WGs at IETF, or otherwise be narrower to a particular WG.
