Re: [Ecrit] Charter & Milestones update - Comments sought

[Gunnar Hellstrom <[e-mail]>]

Hi,
Policy based routing was once said to enable routing based on for 
example media requirements and capabilities to specific PSAPs equipped 
or educated for such calls.
In latest NENA spec for policy based routing, only PSAP availability is 
mentioned as reason to route.

I do not remember that we have anything sufficiently explicit from IETF 
on this topic, and suggest to include it in the goals.

Thanks,
Gunnar
