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.

 

I am enclosing information on a number of recent RFC 
submissions/updates.

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.

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.

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.
