All A few of us have written two companion Drafts for consideration into 2 WGs (GEOPRIV and DHC). The first ID (into the DHC WG) is at: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-polk-dhcp-geo-loc-option-00.txt and defines a Location Object format that satisfies (we hope) the basic required elements to represent a Target as well as the requirement for granular resolution. This ID in no way affects the GEOPRIV Protocol and it's goal for security or user control (ie rules for actively responding to a Location request). It provides a mechanism for getting the location information to an (wired) IP device which can then use the eventual GEOPRIV Protocol as that WG specifies. There are no semantics written into the DHC ID, and leaves some questions as to why the authors made certain choices. Hence the reason for the second ID. The second ID (into the GEOPRIV WG) is the semantics ID for the DHC ID. It's at: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-polk-geopriv-loc-object-semantics- 00.txt and shows (with many examples) why the meaning of "resolution" is better suited to meet the requirement of granular (im)precision than "accuracy". The examples of how the location Target device can simply alter the resolution presented to a location request from within 3.11mm x 2.62mm to as much as 1/6th that of the earth. Neither ID talks about the circumstances of these choices - the authors believe this normative text should reside elsewhere in GEOPRIV efforts with whatever rules that WG places on its Protocol efforts and output. Questions and comments have already been raised on the IEPREP WG list in the Transport Area, so this combined effort looks like it will have multiple lists with comments on them regarding these two IDs. Comments are encouraged cheers, James ************************************* "People generally demand more respect for their own rights than they are willing to allow for others" _______________________________________________ dhcwg mailing list dhcwg@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dhcwg
