Re: [Geopriv] The next HELD work item

I would prefer the order be
1) deref
2) Identity
3) LIS discovery
4) measurement

Specifically, I know of no work pending on measurements. It's only
marginally useful: where the device has measurement information but does not
do the calculation AND there is no other protocol that is network specific.
I agree that the case of the device providing measurements is common,
specifically in wireless networks, but the reality is that they have a
solution, and the HELD solution isn't likely to be adopted in favor of their
existing solution.

On the other hand, we need deref right away, because we expect LbyR to be
common. I would like to see Identity right after that to provide OBO
capability, needed by U.K. and Canadian emergency call, as well as NENA i3
(the latter uses it for legacy wireline phone number to location mapping).

LIS discovery seems more important that measurements to me also. I could be
convinced to move it ahead of Identity.
