Fw: [Geopriv] draft-ietf-geopriv-dhcp-lbyr-uri-option-00

["Carl Reed" <creed@opengeospatial.org>]

I know that some in this group have been talking and/or thinking  about 
location by reference and location URIs. Well, the IETF GeoPRIV group in 
which I participate has been working this functional area for a couple of 
years. The referenced URL is to the document that represents their latest 
collective consensus on the topic.

Thanks

Carl
