The IESG has received a request from the Emergency Context Resolution with Internet Technologies WG (ecrit) to consider the following document: - 'Additional Data Related to an Emergency Call' <draft-ietf-ecrit-additional-data-33.txt> as Proposed Standard 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 2015-08-24. 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 When an emergency call is sent to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), the originating device, the access network provider to which the device is connected, and all service providers in the path of the call have information about the call, the caller or the location which is helpful for the PSAP to have in handling the emergency. This document describes data structures and mechanisms to convey such data to the PSAP. The intent is that every emergency call carry the information described here using the mechanisms described here. The mechanisms permit the data to be conveyed by reference (as an external resource) or by value (within the body of a SIP message or a location object). This follows the tradition of prior emergency services standardization work where data can be conveyed by value within the call signaling (i.e., in the body of the SIP message) or by reference. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ecrit-additional-data/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ecrit-additional-data/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
