At IETF 114, we saw some interest in adding hints about the client's location to requests in certain circumstances, with the condition that it be done in a way that doesn't compromise privacy. My sense (as Chair) is that further discussion might result in a solution that's broadly acceptable, or it might conclude that we can't publish anything. However, we need a focal point for that discussion. One potential starting point would be the draft presented: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-pauly-httpbis-geoip-hint/ As always, if we adopt this draft it will be a starting point; it may change considerably, and consensus on any remaining content will need to be confirmed. I'll add one more proviso: if we can't come to consensus on a solution with appropriate properties (especially, privacy), we won't move the document forward. Please indicate whether you support adopting this draft. The Call for Adoption will end in two weeks. Cheers, -- Mark Nottingham https://www.mnot.net/
