RE: IETF work related to work of this TC

Yesterday during the GIS SC teleconference I mentioned that there are a number of IETF RFCs that could have an impact/synergy with the work of this TC. The majority of the work by the IETF membership WRT location has to do with either delivery of services in an EM siutation or 2.) protection of privacy and privacy encoding rules for location payloads on the internet.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Geographic Location/Privacy Working Group of the IETF.

Title : A Presence-based GEOPRIV Location Object Format
Author(s) : J. Peterson
Filename : draft-ietf-geopriv-pidf-lo-02.txt
Pages : 24
Date : 2004-6-30

This document describes an object format for carrying geographical
   information on the Internet. This location object extends the
   Presence Information Data Format (PIDF), which was designed for
   communicating privacy-sensitive presence information and which has
   similar properties.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Session Initiation Proposal Investigation Working Group of the IETF.

Title : Requirements for Session Initiation Protocol
Location Conveyance
Author(s) : J. Polk, B. Rosen
Filename : draft-ietf-sipping-location-requirements-01.txt
Pages : 45
Date : 2004-7-19

This document presents the framework and requirements for usage of
   the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) [RFC 3261] to convey user
   location information from a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) user
   agent to another SIP entity. We consider cases where location
   information is conveyed from end to end, as well as cases where
   message routing by intermediaries is influenced by the location of
   the session initiator. We offer a set of solutions to the
   requirements, based on the scenario(s) being addressed.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Geographic Location/Privacy Working Group of the IETF.

Title : A Document Format for Expressing Privacy Preferences
Author(s) : H. Schulzrinne, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-geopriv-common-policy-01.txt
Pages : 40
Date : 2004-7-21

This document defines a framework for authorization policies
   controling access to application specific data. This framework
   combines common location- and SIP-presence-specific authorization
   aspects. An XML schema specifies the language in which common policy
   rules are represented. The common policy framework can be extended to
   other application domains.

Title : Advertising Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) Services with Presence
Author(s) : J. Peterson
Filename : draft-peterson-pidf-ice-00.txt
Pages : 10
Date : 2004-7-13

Many presence applications use availability information about a
   presentity to show a watcher their readiness to communicate. In the
   case of real-time multimedia communications, the readiness of the
   presentity to communicate does not entail that the network topography
   will permit communication to occur. Accordingly, this document
   specifies a means to integrate Interactive Connectivity Establishment
   (ICE) with presence. Presentities employing the Presence Information
   Data Format (PIDF) can use the extensions in this draft to advertise
   their ability to undergo a preliminary ICE check, and thus allow
   watchers to instigate ICE tests to ascertain whether or not the
   intervening network is friendly to real-time multimedia
   communication. In a presence application, the results of this test
   could be displayed to watchers as the relative "connectivity status"
   of the presentity.
