The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A Location Dereferencing Protocol Using HELD' (draft-ietf-geopriv-deref-protocol-07.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Geographic Location/Privacy Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Robert Sparks and Gonzalo Camarillo. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-geopriv-deref-protocol/ Technical Summary This document describes how to use the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) over Transport Layer Security (TLS) as a dereferencing protocol to resolve a reference to a Presence Information Data Format Location Object (PIDF-LO). The document assumes that a Location Recipient possesses a URI that can be used in conjunction with the HELD protocol to request the location of the Target. Working Group Summary This document describes a profile of the HELD protocol, which was the topic of extensive discussions about authorization and privacy during its development. Those discussions extended somewhat to this document as well, but have been resolved with appropriate discussion of possible authorization policies and their implications. Document Quality This document is a profile of HELD, which currently has multiple interoperable implementations. This document is a part of the NENA i3 specification for IP-based emergency calling in the US. Personnel Robert Sparks is the responsible Area Director. Richard Barnes is the document shepherd.
