This has been pointed out ad nauseum already. That's one reason why this is an informal BoF, not a working group meeting. It's not binding on the working group in any way and is no different than any other similar discussion among interested parties within a working group. If it bothers you that a few working group members might want to get together to talk about some relevant topics, then I imagine this will be the least of your worries at Minneapolis.

Hmmm...the draft itself is a bit specific to enum as written--it doesn't address geopriv directly. However, the concepts surrounding the use of service resolution services (for presence or otherwise) present a reasonable approach to solving the geopriv problem. Trouble is, even with a draft targeted to geopriv, this approach is clearly out of charter due to the severe constraints placed on the geopriv solution (namely, solving the privacy issue at the transport layer).

Are you asking this question because you want to hear more about this draft with respect to geopriv, or are you trying to find out if my motivation for meeting is somehow tied to finding an audience for this draft? If there is interest in the former, I'd like to hear about it. But I suspect you're asking the latter question, in which case let me make it clear that I am more interested in having a good discussion about solving the fundamental problems than pushing any particular viewpoint or draft. While it is unfortunate that the WG won't be discussing them, there's no reason the rest of us need to wait around for an excuse for a good technical discussion.
