A longer, hopefully more helpful, response to this part of the question 
can be found at:

Personally, I'm surprised that the IETF (through the IAB) does not have 
a liaison agreement with ETSI. The external liaison list is at:
    https://www.iab.org/liaisons/

Although there are always layer 8 and 9 reasons for having, or not 
having, liaison agreements, ETSI's work often plays into IETF's work in 
many different areas (I remember them from those always-entertaining 
PKIX days).
