Hello authors,

Couple of questions regarding the problem being that this I-D aims to solve:

1. Why is the existing ANI option not sufficient for encoding WLAN specific
information?
2. Is the primary goal to provide information regarding location? And as a
means for indoor location tracking?

The I-D does not really explain the key problem to be solved other than
saying that 3GPP has a requirement in WLAN deployments. It would be good if
you can explain the motivation to the WG so that the WG can decide on
adopting and progressing this I-D.

-Raj
