The IESG has received a request from the Geographic Location/Privacy WG (geopriv) to consider the following document: - 'Geolocation Policy: A Document Format for Expressing Privacy Preferences for Location Information' <draft-ietf-geopriv-policy-25.txt> as a Proposed Standard This last call focuses on the changes related to location obfuscation (fuzzing) resulting from additional working group attention resulting from a prior IESG review. Please focus the review on the difference between versions -21 and -25 of this draft. Version -21 of this document was IETF LCed in Jun 2010. Subsequent IESG review identified an issue with location obfuscation that required additional working group attention. Version -11 of this document was IETF LCed in Feb 2007 - subsequent IESG review identified several issues. The resulting working group discussion resulted in significant changes to the document. The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-04-03. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document defines an authorization policy language for controlling access to location information. It extends the Common Policy authorization framework to provide location-specific access control. More specifically, this document defines condition elements specific to location information in order to restrict access based on the current location of the Target. Furthermore, this document defines two algorithms for reducing the granularity of returned location information. The first algorithm is defined for usage with civic location information while the other one applies to geodetic location information. Both algorithms come with limitations, i.e. they provide location obfuscation under certain conditions and may therefore not be appropriate for all application domains.
