RE: FW: Potential Location Summit

We are looking for someone to represent the IETF Geopriv group. We
believe (though if we are wrong, please set me straight) that this is
the only active group in IETF dealing with location.

We're not going to make any earth-shattering decisions, i.e. there won't
be any votes or anything like that, but we want to make sure that the
efforts of the different groups are at least well-understood, and if
possible coordinated to reduce the overall effort and maximize the total
value of the effort.

LIF, OGC, WAP Forum, OMA, 3GPP and GSMA have lots of informal and formal
connections that ensure, or attempt to ensure, that we come up with
harmonious standards and reduce the overall workload and produce better
standards. We'd like to have at least an informal communication path
with IETF Geopriv. This will likely benefit IETF Geopriv, even if the
IETF Geopriv attendee's only function is to observe.

So in other words, we'd like someone who can fairly represent the work
of people in the group, has a good handle on what the group's likely
accomplishments might be, and can communicate back to IETF Geopriv about
how that location summit proceeded. We can probably accommodate
multiple attendees from IETF Geopriv.

Anyway, we just want to get a sense whether you'd support it, attend,
etc.
