The mere fact of receiving a message from et would mean they are way more advanced than we are, as sending a meaningful signal over lightyears would require ridiculous amounts of energy, that we simply are not yet capable to manipulate. So no need for a protocol, we will not be able to respond. And I guess, they would figure it all out for us.
