Well, one possible approach is to proceed totally informally, by having a joint conversation of the relevant communities of interest. The more formal approach would be to create a Joint Task Force of the affected Working Groups. If folks conclude that this is a sensible approach, then the Chairs of all three WGs would have to confer to propose something.
