Section 4.1 says "GEO-URIs [RFC5870] are not appropriate for usage in the SIP Geolocation header." It would be good to explain why not. Section 4.1 says "SIP intermediaries SHOULD NOT modify or delete any existing locationValue(s)." As we know, "SHOULD NOT" is functionally equivalent to "MUST NOT unless you have a really good reason"; what is the really good reason here? In Section 4.3, please add a reference for PIDF-LO (presumably RFC 4119). Such a reference exists in Section 4.4, but Section 4.3 contains the first mention of PIDF-LO. Sections 4.6 and 8.3 both have "via an HTTP ([RFC2616])" instead of, presumably, "via HTTP ([RFC2616])" or "via an HTTP URI ([RFC2616])". |

I think that the usage of the term 'SIP modifications' in the title and first paragraph of section 4 is too strong for what this document does. Modifications to SIP would imply updating some previous documents. I suggest replacing 'modifications' by 'extensions'. 2. section 4.1: The Geolocation header field can have one or more locationValues. A Geolocation header field MUST have at least one locationValue. The first sentence seems to have been made redundant by the second. 3. Any locationValue MUST be related to the original Target. This is equally true the location information in a SIP response, i.e., from a SIP intermediary back to the Target as explained in Section 3.4. Something is missing in the second sentence (maybe 'true FOR the location information ...) 4. The text string are OPTIONAL, fix grammar 5. Unless there is a specific reason here it would be better to order the RFCs in the references sections according to the RFC numbers. |

Is this information that can be referenced from somewhere else? - Section 4.2 says: The Geolocation-Routing header field satisfies the recommendations made in section 3.5 of RFC 5606 [RFC5606] regarding indication of permission to use location-based routing in SIP. My reading of 5606 3.5 is that the indication of "permission" is basically an optimization: That is, it is an indication that using the location is likely to fail and ought be avoided. But 4.2 reads differently, making it out to be some sort of access control mechanism (without any enforcement): ...when the Geolocation-Routing header-value is set to "no", if a cid:url is present in the SIP request, intermediaries SHOULD NOT view the location (because it is not for intermediaries to view), and if a location URI is present, intermediaries SHOULD NOT dereference it. I'm left wondering what the downside is if an intermediary does view or dereference a location when you've got a "Geolocation-Routing: no". Why is it that the intermediary SHOULD NOT do these things? - Sections 4.3. It seems inevitable that 424's will leak back to the originating UA even when the location was inserted by an intermediary (because there will be a badly behaved intermediary that doesn't handle a 424). Should there be any instruction about how a UA should handle (ignore?) a 424 even when it hasn't included location info? - Section 4.4. Is "permission reset" an understood term in SIP-land? It wasn't clear to me (though I could guess) how the term "reset" was being used in this context. |

How is the poor end user supposed to know what is happening in this case? What if a user specifically wants to use a UA that doesn't send her location (or have it added) - how could that be supported? (2) 4.1 says that SIP intermediaries "are not to view" location information. Why can't that be written with a MUST of some sort? It seems very weak at present. (The same "not to view" is repeated a few times later.) I don't understand what "viewing" means for a piece of software. (3) cleared (4) If a UA or intermediary inserts a Geolocation or Geolocation-Routing header field, I assume that doesn't get deleted later. So nothing prevents this information "leaking" out beyond the domain/operator who set the field. That means all operators are trusting all operators further down the signalling path with all users location information. Should there be something about deleting these fields at some stage in path? Did the WG consider this aspect? (5) There is a MUST for conforming to rfc 3693 that says that you have to follow the rules for retention and re-transmission. A quick look at 3693 seems to imply that that document does not set out rules with which one could conform, but only says those must exist. Am I right there? If so, then where do I go (as an implementer) to find out how to handle retention and re-transmission? |

(2) 3.1: Can Bob use the error code to get Alice to progressively give him more location information? If Alice's LO is "fuzzed" then each iteration might expose more precise information to Bob. If that's likely or possible, it probably deserves a mention in the security considerations. I'd suggest that Alice SHOULD include some kind of limit for repeatedly sending an LO in a short period, if she is fuzzing or similar. (Or maybe even generally - is there ever a real reason to iterate on this 10 times in a few minutes?) (3) Same as (3) but for section 3.2 - should the LS have some controls on how often Bob (or anyone) can de-reference the URI? (4) Are there a set of rules specified somewhere as to what is required of an LR? The repeated refereences to what is or is not an LR sort of implies there is, but rfc 3693 doesn't seem to contain that. If there are such rules specified somewhere then please add a reference. (5) 3.3, 1st para, could do with a bit more explaination of the location based routing case (maybe just as a forward reference or an example). The current text doesn't make it clear who'd be routing what for whom based on the LO. (6) I don't understand why GEO-URIs are not appropriate for use here - a sentence explaining why seems warranted. (7) What is a RuleMaker and where is that defined? I assume it means something like a telcoms regulator. (8) It seems odd to have a MUST not just for rfc 3693 but also for its "updates and successors" - how do you know that that'll be possible? (9) It seems odd that appendix A presents requirements but is not referenced in the text of the document at all. What is the status of this? Partly it looks like historic information that the WG used, but nothing says that. (10) UAC-7 s/must be met/MUST be met/ ? |

How is the poor end user supposed to know what is happening in this case? What if a user specifically wants to use a UA that doesn't send her location (or have it added) - how could that be supported? (2) 4.1 says that SIP intermediaries "are not to view" location information. Why can't that be written with a MUST of some sort? It seems very weak at present. (The same "not to view" is repeated a few times later.) I don't understand what "viewing" means for a piece of software. (3) in 4.1 there are a lot (7) of choices for locationURI and each seems to be very generic, e.g. http-URI is one choice. Are those all MUST supports? If not then which is/are mandatory to implement? Not specifying this seems likely to lead to interop problems. (4) If a UA or intermediary inserts a Geolocation or Geolocation-Routing header field, I assume that doesn't get deleted later. So nothing prevents this information "leaking" out beyond the domain/operator who set the field. That means all operators are trusting all operators further down the signalling path with all users location information. Should there be something about deleting these fields at some stage in path?

First, in the Header Fields registry in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Parameters located at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/sip-parameters a new registration will be made as follows: Header Name: Geolocation Compact: Reference: [ RFC-to-be ] Second, also in the Header Fields registry in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Parameters located at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/sip-parameters a new registration will be made as follows: Header Name: Geolocation-Routing Compact: Reference: [ RFC-to-be ] Third in the Option Tags registry in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Parameters located at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/sip-parameters two new registrations will be made as follows: Name Description Reference ----------- ------------------------------------------ --------- geolocation-sip The "geolocation-sip" option tag signals [RFC-to-be] support for acquiring location information via the presence event package of SIP (RFC 3856). A location recipient who supports this option can send a SUBSCRIBE request and parse a resulting NOTIFY containing a PIDF-LO object. The URI schemes supported by this option include "sip", "sips" and "pres". geolocation-http The "geolocation-http" option tag signals [RFC-to-be] support for acquiring location information via an HTTP ([RFC2616]). A location recipient who supports this option can request location with an HTTP GET and parse a resulting 200 response containing a PIDF-LO object. The URI schemes supported by this option include "http" and "https". Fourth, in the Response Codes in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Parameters located at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/sip-parameters a new registration will be made as follows: Response Code Reference ------------------------------------------ --------- Request Failure 4xx 424 Bad Location Information [ RFC-to-be ] Fifth, in the Header Fields registry in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Parameters located at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/sip-parameters a new registration will be made as follows: Header Name: Geolocation-Error Compact: Reference: [ RFC-to-be ] Sixth, in the Header Field Parameters and Parameter Values in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Parameters located at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/sip-parameters a new registration will be made as follows: Predefined Header Field Parameter Name Values Reference ----------------- ------------------- ---------- --------- Geolocation-Error code yes [ RFC-to-be ] Seventh, this document creates an entirely new registry in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Parameters located at: http://www.iana.org/assignments/sip-parameters The registry name is "Geolocation-Error Codes." Geolocation-Error codes provide reason for the error discovered by Location Recipients, categorized by action to be taken by error recipient. The rule for new registrations in this new registry is IETF Specification required. The initial values for this registry are shown as follows: Registry Name: Geolocation-Error Codes Reference: [ RFC-to-be ] Registration Procedures: Specification Required Code Default Reason Phrase Reference ---- --------------------------------------------------- --------- 100 "Cannot Process Location" [ RFC-to-be ] 200 "Permission To Use Location Information" [ RFC-to-be ] 201 "Permission To Retransmit Location Information to a Third Party" [ RFC-to-be ] 202 "Permission to Route based on Location Information" [ RFC-to-be ] 300 "Dereference Failure" [ RFC-to-be ] IANA understands that these seven IANA Actions are the only ones required to be completed upon approval of this document. |

The following Last Call Announcement was sent out: From: The IESG To: IETF-Announce CC: Reply-To: ietf@ietf.org Subject: Last Call: (Location Conveyance for the Session Initiation Protocol) to Proposed Standard The IESG has received a request from the Session Initiation Protocol Core WG (sipcore) to consider the following document: - 'Location Conveyance for the Session Initiation Protocol' as a 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 2011-06-06. 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 This document defines an extension to the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to convey geographic location information from one SIP entity to another SIP entity. The SIP extension covers end-to-end conveyance as well as location-based routing, where SIP intermediaries make routing decisions based upon the location of the Location Target. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sipcore-location-conveyance/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sipcore-location-conveyance/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. |

Has the Document Shepherd personally reviewed this version of the document and, in particular, does he or she believe this version is ready for forwarding to the IESG for publication? Adam Roach is the document shepherd for this document. He has reviewed the document and believes it is ready for publication, with one minor editorial reservation. The following text, from page 15, paragraph 5, may be somewhat more informal than expected in a protocol specification: There is no guidance given in this document as to which locationValue, when more than one was present in the SIP request, is related to the Geolocation-Error code; meaning that, somehow not defined here, the LR just picks one to error. The shepherd suggests replacing it with more formal language containing identical meaning, such as: When more than one locationValue is present in a SIP request, this mechanism provides no indication which one the Geolocation- Error code corresponds to. If multiple errors are present, the LR applies local policy to select one. (1.b) Has the document had adequate review both from key WG members and from key non-WG members? Does the Document Shepherd have any concerns about the depth or breadth of the reviews that have been performed? Discussions on the mechanism in the document have generated over 350 messages since its transfer into SIPCORE. More than 250 of these were discussing the "new" version of the document, after a substantial reworking for simplicity. (See 1.e, below) Input from participants of the GEOPRIV working group was solicited throughout the development of the document, and significant discussion of the mechanism within the GEOPRIV working group (over 80 messages on the GEOPRIV mailing list) were incorporated into the document. Finally, the document underwent a period of intense scrutiny in February of this year, during which several SIPCORE participants attended weekly conference calls to finalize the remaining open issues associated with the document. The final SIPCORE working group last call generated three very in-depth reviews of the document. Given the relative simplicity of the mechanism, this level of review seems more than adequate. The shepherd has no concerns about either depth or breadth of the reviews. (1.c) Does the Document Shepherd have concerns that the document needs more review from a particular or broader perspective, e.g., security, operational complexity, someone familiar with AAA, internationalization or XML? The shepherd has no such concerns. (1.d) Does the Document Shepherd have any specific concerns or issues with this document that the Responsible Area Director and/or the IESG should be aware of? For example, perhaps he or she is uncomfortable with certain parts of the document, or has concerns whether there really is a need for it. In any event, if the WG has discussed those issues and has indicated that it still wishes to advance the document, detail those concerns here. Has an IPR disclosure related to this document been filed? If so, please include a reference to the disclosure and summarize the WG discussion and conclusion on this issue. There are no such concerns or issues. (1.e) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it represent the strong concurrence of a few individuals, with others being silent, or does the WG as a whole understand and agree with it? The initial work for the location-conveyance document began in the SIP working group back in 2005 (with roots stretching back to requirements discussions in the SIPCORE working group as early as mid-2003). The document underwent many years of development and refinement from 2005 to 2010, accumulating a number of mechanisms to accommodate several sets of requirements relating to geolocation conveyance. In early 2010, the working group took on the task of simplifying the mechanism (and consequently the document) to reflect a more recent understanding of the actual requirements. During the development of the document, many IETF participants offered comments, including several who do not typically participate in the SIP and SIPCORE working groups. Based on this history, and based on the detailed reviews performed on the simplified mechanism, the shepherd believes that the document has significant support within not just the SIPCORE working group (and its antecedents), but within the IETF real-time communications community as a whole. (1.f) Has anyone threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme discontent? If so, please summarize the areas of conflict in separate email messages to the Responsible Area Director. (It should be in a separate email because this questionnaire is entered into the ID Tracker.) Although the aforementioned decision to simplify the document and the mechanism it describes was met with initial skepticism by some parties, no participants have objected strenuously, nor have any appeals been threatened. (1.g) Has the Document Shepherd personally verified that the document satisfies all ID nits? (See the Internet-Drafts Checklist and http://tools.ietf.org/tools/idnits/). Boilerplate checks are not enough; this check needs to be thorough. Has the document met all formal review criteria it needs to, such as the MIB Doctor, media type and URI type reviews? The document has been verified to satisfy all ID nits. The automated nits checker tool identifies the copyright notice as potentially incorrect, although it is in error in doing so. This document contains text from before November 10, 2008; so the copyright notice is correct. The shepherd has not identified any formal external reviews as necessary at this time. Since the document deals with location information, an initial SIPCORE working group last call in 2009 was copied to the GEOPRIV working group mailing list. Followup was requested to the SIPCORE mailing list, so it is not possible to directly gauge how many WGLC reviews were the result of this posting. The shepherd notes that at least one detailed set of comments was posted to the GEOPRIV mailing list in response to this WGLC, along with another message indicating that the poster had reviewed the draft in detail and concurred with the previous comments. (1.h) Has the document split its references into normative and informative? Are there normative references to documents that are not ready for advancement or are otherwise in an unclear state? If such normative references exist, what is the strategy for their completion? Are there normative references that are downward references, as described in [RFC3967]? If so, list these downward references to support the Area Director in the Last Call procedure for them [RFC3967]. References are split into normative and informative. No downrefs are present. (1.i) Has the Document Shepherd verified that the document IANA consideration section exists and is consistent with the body of the document? If the document specifies protocol extensions, are reservations requested in appropriate IANA registries? Are the IANA registries clearly identified? If the document creates a new registry, does it define the proposed initial contents of the registry and an allocation procedure for future registrations? Does it suggest a reasonable name for the new registry? See [RFC5226]. If the document describes an Expert Review process has Shepherd conferred with the Responsible Area Director so that the IESG can appoint the needed Expert during the IESG Evaluation? The IANA considerations section registers a number of new values in existing, clearly-defined registries, and adds a new registry (including its initial contents and registration policy). (1.j) Has the Document Shepherd verified that sections of the document that are written in a formal language, such as XML code, BNF rules, MIB definitions, etc., validate correctly in an automated checker? The ABNF definitions in sections 4.1, 4.2, and 4.4 have been validated using the tool at http://www.apps.ietf.org/content/chris-newmans-abnf-validator. All undefined rules reported by that tool are external to the document, and the document clearly cites the origin documents for these rules. (1.k) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document Announcement Write-Up. Please provide such a Document Announcement Write-Up? Recent examples can be found in the "Action" announcements for approved documents. The approval announcement contains the following sections: Technical Summary This document defines an extension to the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to convey geographic location information from one SIP entity to another SIP entity. The SIP extension covers end-to-end conveyance as well as location-based routing, where SIP intermediaries make routing decisions based upon the location of the Location Target. Working Group Summary This work began in the (now concluded) SIPPING working group back in 2003, and progressed through the (also concluded) SIP working group before being finalized in the SIPCORE working group. The protocol mechanism underwent significant simplification in early 2010 to reflect a better understanding of the core requirements underpinning the work. Although this simplification was initially controversial, the working group did manage to achieve a rather strong consensus around the new mechanism after some additional changes. Document Quality This protocol mechanism is described in the 3GPP document 24.229 as a component of certain emergency calling scenarios in IMS-based networks. It was developed in the SIP and SIPCORE working groups with input from GEOPRIV working group participants. |
