From Wikipedia:

From French liaison 'binding', from Latin ligatio (stem ligation-), derived from ligare "to bind".

liaison (plural liaisons)

1. Communication between two parties or groups.
2. Co-operation, working together.

Welcome to the liaison homepage. It is here that you will find the information concerning the liaison position. To be a liaison requires that you work together with a specific MOM (Member of Mention). Due to the time constraints that a number of MOM's face, it became important to develop a position that would allow someone to become the "voice" of the MOM. In this position the communication between the MOM, their liaison, and the internet community is developed.

A liaison will use contact lists, forum or bulletin board posts, and a variety of available internet sources to "Request Helping Hands". Basically sending a letter on behalf of the MOM seeking help. The letter will have links that will direct recipients to the MOM homepage, as well as, utilize an address book importer. The importer will allow the recipient to quickly notify their friends and family of the MOM's needs with just a few clicks. Additionally, it will also allow for input of a liaison registration number.

The liaison registration number will be used to provide a bonus. The bonus will be paid on completed downloads. This bonus can be paid to the MOM, or paid directly to the liaison. Our feeling is it will be alot easier to get the help that is needed by rewarding effort. For those individuals who are glad to help a MOM without compensation, then the bonus goes to the MOM for having such a outstanding support group. For those individuals just looking to "cover the cost" of time provided, then the bonus is paid directly to the liaison.

Currently, the bonus structure is as follows:
