Re: [Geopriv] GEOPRIV minutes from IETF 76

James,

I do hope you realize that stating 'no LCP' does not prevent a target from
discovering it's own location using identity-ext. The characteristic of
'LCP' is that the communication protocol provides assurances to the LIS the
request is from the target. Identity-ext cannot do this. So, if the LIS
can go off and verify the request is in fact from the target using some
'out-of-band' mechanism, great, the LIS can then chose the proper policy.

So, from a policy POV, identity-ext (by itself) CANNOT be a LCP.

BTW, I'm still bothered by the assumption of 'LCP Policy'. Such a policy is
still under control of the Rulemaker(s). GeoPriv does not dictate 'LCP
Policy'.
