ALTO have been covering a lot of the same ground as GEOPRIV.
draft-ietf-geopriv-res-gw-lis-discovery sits in the RFC editor's
queue.  It's the same mechanism.

That said, this is only useful to the extent that the owner of the
network you are using is also the one providing the TURN service.  Is
this the operating assumption here?  Or are there other avenues that
need to be explored?
