Francois can probably briefly outline the process. The process greatly depends on the organization. The usual issue when exchanging messages with external organizations is that they may not be working at the same confidentiality level. Typically, this group operates in public while HbbTV does not, which means that, depending on the contents of the messages being exchanged, we may need to create a member-only list for this group. Nothing too complex, that can be done if the need arises. The Web and TV IG has been exchanging with HbbTV in the past (e.g. about testing). Apart from that, sending a message is basically a matter of sending an email to the point of contact in the liaisons table, cc-ing team-liaisons@w3.org to keep the relevant team at W3C informed. HbbTV would definitely be a good target for the Presentation API, and inclusion should not be too complex as already pointed out. I have started to discuss that possibility with a couple of HbbTV Members but it is a good idea to send a formal message to the HbbTV Association that mentions our work on the Presentation API spec and asks whether there are additional requirements that would make it easy for them to include it in a future version of the HbbTV spec.
