Title : Best Current Practice for Communications Services in support of Emergency Calling
Author(s) : B. Rosen, J. Polk
Filename : draft-ietf-ecrit-phonebcp-01.txt
Pages : 21
Date : 2007-3-8
Requesting help in an emergency using a communications device such as
a telephone or mobile is an accepted practice in most of the world.
As communications devices increasingly utilize the Internet to
interconnect and communicate, users will continue to expect to use
such devices to request help, regardless of whether or not they
communicate using IP. The emergency response community will have to
upgrade their facilities to support the wider range of communications
services, but cannot be expected to handle wide variation in device
and service capability. The IETF has several efforts targeted at
standardizing various aspects of placing emergency calls. This memo
describes best current practice on how devices and services should
use such standards to reliably make emergency calls

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
