Re: FW: Potential Location Summit

Hi Dan,
  It seems that you are not familiar with how IETF works.
IETF Geopriv WG's charter is at:
http://ietf.org/html.charters/geopriv-charter.html
which states that Allison Mankin and Randall Gellens are co-chairs. All
others are members of this WG. So there is no one to represent this WG
or the co-chairs and any member (which is open to public, including
yourself, i.e. anybody can be a member at any time) can represent
Geopriv WG.
  Regards,
