I generally agree with Ted on the above, and the rest
of his mail. I'm not so sure though that the experience
since the geopriv WG shows that attempting a similar
process again would be that productive either.
Were work on this topic to proceed, I'd argue that would
need to start from a public analysis of the IMO currently
fairly awful situation with respect to location privacy,
with an aim of achieving overall improvement. I'd argue
that would require a BoF at least, as there are many
different angles and starting positions IETF participants
would likely want included in such a discussion.
Cheers,
