Subject: FYI: IETF WG Action: Emergency Context Resolution with Internet Technologies(ecrit)
Here is a proposed IETF Working Group that may be of interest to this
community. Also, any individual can participate in an IETF WG. Simply need
to sign up. No fees. All volunteer. I do not know the Chairs but I have
worked with both Allison and Jon. They are very knowledgeable about
"location" payloads and the internet.
Regards
Carl

> Description of Working Group:
>
> In a number of areas, the public switched telephone network (PSTN) has
> been configured to recognize an explicitly specified number (commonly
> one that is short and easily memorized) as a call for emergency
> services. These numbers (e.g. 911, 112) relate to an emergency
> service context and depend on a broad, regional configuration of
> service contact methods and a geographically-constrained context of
> service delivery. These calls are intended to be delivered to special
> call centers equipped to manage emergency response. Successful
> delivery of an emergency service call within those systems requires
> both an association of the physical location of the originator with an
> appropriate emergency service center and call routing to deliver the
> call to the center.
>
> Calls placed using Internet technologies do not use the same systems
> to achieve those goals, and the common use of overlay networks and
> tunnels (either as VPNs or for mobility) makes meeting them more
> challenging. There are, however, Internet technologies available to
> describe location and to manage call routing. This working group will
> describe when these may be appropriate and how they may be used.
> Explicitly outside the scope of this group is the question of
> pre-emption or prioritization of emergency services traffic. This
> group is considering emergency services calls which might be made by
> any user of the Internet, as opposed to government or military
> services that may impose very different authentication and routing
> requirements.
>
> The group will show how the availability of location data and call
> routing information at different steps in session setup would enable
> communication between a user and a relevant emergency response
> center. Though the term "call routing" is used in this document, it
> should be understood that some of the mechanisms which will be
> described might be used to enable other types of media streams. Video
> and text messaging, for example, might be used to request emergency
> services.
>
> While this group anticipates a close working relationship with groups
> such as NENA and ETSI EMTEL, any solution presented must be useful
> regardless of jurisdiction, and it must be possible to use without a
> single, central authority. Further, it must be possible for multiple
> delegations within a jurisdiction to be handled independently, as call
> routing for specific emergency types may be independent.
>
> This working group cares about privacy and security concerns, and will
> address them within its documents.
>
> Goals and Milestones:
>
> Apr 2005 Informational RFC containing terminology definitions and the
> requirements.
> May 2005 An Informational document describing the threats and security
> considerations.
> Aug 2005 A BCP describing how to identify a session set-up request is to
> an emergency
> response center.
> Aug 2005 A BCP describing strategies for associating session originators
> with
> physical locations.
> Aug 2005 A BCP or Standards Track RFC describing how to route an
> emergency call
> based on location information.
> Nov 2005 A BCP describing how to discover the media stream types an ERC
> supports.
