[emergency] RE: IETF work related to work of this TC

[Art Botterell <acb@incident.com>]

Looks like most of this work is focused on the privacy of personal 
location information in the context of wireless location-based 
services, instant messaging, etc.  Be interesting to see if any of 
this can be extended to the rights-management problem for emergency 
datasets.
