Technical Summary
For cases where location servers have access to emergency routing
information they are able to return routing information with the
location information if the location request includes a request for
the desired routing information. This document specifies an
extension to the HELD protocol to support this function.
Working Group Summary
Was there anything in WG process that is worth noting? For
example, was there controversy about particular points or
were there decisions where the consensus was particularly
rough?
There was significant work group participation in discussion of the
approach taken within the draft, since it introduces a different way to
use the HELD protocol, which originally was designed exclusively to
convey location information. There were some controversies noted on the
list, and all dialogues were efficiently attended to during the
development stage. One final objection was noted and addressed by the
draft author, with no follow up provided by the commenter, despite ample
opportunity/time to do so. A successful development progression is
documented in the ECRIT work group minutes and in email list archives.
