Technical Summary

The Presence Information Data Format Location Object (PIDF-LO)
specification provides a flexible and versatile means to represent
location information.  There are, however, circumstances that arise
when information needs to be constrained in how it is represented.  In
these circumstances the range of options that need to be implemented
are reduced.  There is growing interest in being able to use location
information contained in a PIDF-LO for routing applications.  To allow
successful interoperability between applications, location information
needs to be normative and more tightly constrained than is currently
specified in the RFC 4119 (PIDF-LO).  This document makes
recommendations on how to constrain, represent and interpret locations
in a PIDF-LO.  It further recommends a subset of GML that is mandatory
to implement by applications involved in location based routing.

	Title           : Discovering the Local Location Information Server (LIS)
	Author(s)       : M. Thomson, J. Winterbottom
	Filename        : draft-ietf-geopriv-lis-discovery-06.txt
	Pages           : 20

A method is described for the discovery of a Location Information
Server.  The method uses a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
option.  DHCP options are defined for both IPv4 and IPv6 DHCP.  A
URI-enabled NAPTR (U-NAPTR) method is described for use where the
DHCP option is unsuccessful.  This document defines a U-NAPTR
Application Service for a LIS, with a specific Application Protocol
for the HTTP Enabled Location Delivery (HELD) protocol.

Discovery of the correct Location Information Server (LIS) in the
local access network is necessary for devices that wish to acquire
location information from the network.  A method is described for the
discovery of a LIS.  Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
options for IP versions 4 and 6 are defined that specify a URI for a
LIS in the local access network.  Additional DHCP options are
provided that enable authentication of the indicated LIS.  An
alternative method that uses URI-enabled NAPTR (U-NAPTR) is described
for use where the DHCP option is unsuccessful.

The distribution of location information is a privacy sensitive task.
Dealing with mechanisms to preserve the user's privacy is important

This document defines an authorization policy language for
controlling access to location information.  It extends the Common
Policy authorization framework to provide location-specific access
control.  More specifically, this document defines condition elements
specific to location information in order to restrict access based on
the current location of the Target.  Furthermore, it offers location-
specific transformation elements to reduce the granularity of the
returned location information.

LORAN is making a comeback..

Folks because of the problems with GPS the LORAN system and a new 
location based encrypted LORAN is emerging. But there is an opportunity 
to expand that and layer PPP or some other rudimentary stack atop the 
LORAN transport

Anyone else interested?

The following text is included on the first page of every Internet-Draft,
including this one:

   Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months
   and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any
   time.  It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference
   material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."

EAP-FAST is a _proprietary_ protocol, but the "Internet-Draft" describing
its bizarre pirating of IANA-allocated EAP numbers can't be changed because
EAP-FAST has been "implemented"; yet for some even more bizarre reason, the
IESG seems to believe that the same people who ignore the transient nature
of Internet-Drafts will for some reason honor their weak-kneed "IESG Note"!
Now, yet another Internet-Draft can't be changed because it's been
implemented.  If the people who implemented these attributes can read, then
they certainly would have designed their code in such a way that it's easily
modifiable; if not, too bad.  Furthermore, the claim is that these
attributes are opaque to any RADIUS server, so the only code needing change
would be special purpose anyway.  OTOH, maybe we should replace the

	Title           : GEOPRIV Layer 7 Location Configuration Protocol; Problem Statement and Requirements

This document provides a problem statement, lists requirements and
captures design aspects for a Geopriv Layer 7 Location Configuration
Protocol L7 (LCP).  This protocol aims to allow an end host to obtain
location information, by value or by reference, from a Location
Information Server (LIS) that is located in the access network.  The
obtained location information can then be used for a variety of
different protocols and purposes.  For example, it can be used as
input to the Location-to-Service Translation Protocol (LoST) or to
convey location within SIP to other entities.
