Re: [Geopriv] Fwd: Call for consensus: WG item adoption

As evident the author list on the drafts, I'm strongly in support of all. I'll happily acknowledge that more work is needed, but that's certainly no barrier to adoption.


In response to Brian's reservations on -measurements: Looks like Richard beat me to it :)

If you ignore the draft name, -measurements is purposely written in a protocol-ambivalent fashion, with the only assumption being that there is some form of request-response semantics. There are examples for HELD, that's the only protocol-specific part.

It's been like that for a while. Marc Linsner requested that we avoid protocol-specific ages back.
