The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A LoST extension to return complete and similar location info' (draft-ietf-ecrit-similar-location-19.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Emergency Context Resolution with Internet Technologies Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Murray Kucherawy and Francesca Palombini. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ecrit-similar-location/ Technical Summary This document introduces a new way to provide returned location information in LoST responses that is either of a completed or similar form to the original input civic location, based on whether valid or invalid civic address elements are returned within the <findServiceResponse> message. This document defines a new extension to the <findServiceResponse> message within the LoST protocol (RFC5222) that enables the LoST protocol to return in a response a completed civic address element set for a valid location response, and one or more suggested sets of similar location information for an invalid location. These two types of civic addresses are referred to as either "complete location" or "similar location", and are included as a compilation of CAtype XML elements within the existing LoST <findServiceResponse> message structure. Working Group Summary This document was reviewed by a large number of people during its development. Toward the end it received a number of comments from a small number of people, and their comments (mostly editorial) were carefully considered and resolved with good consensus. Multiple WG participants also participate in the SDOs intending to use this document and have made sure the document meets the needs of those SDOs. Document Quality There are not presently implementations of the protocol, but the SDOs charged with location-based emergency call routing have multiple vendors interested in implementation of this protocol. A medium number of individuals have been actively engaged with the document. A Working Group Last Call was performed which did not reveal any new or outstanding issues other than a few editorial changes. The working group co-chairs are satisfied that there is consensus. No specialist reviews that aren't already triggered by the document process are warranted. Personnel Dwight Purtle is the Document Shepherd. Murray Kucherawy is the Responsible Area Director. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
