Review of ATIS IP-based Emergency Services Standards Documents

Christian Militeau kindly offered the possibility to make the mentioned ATIS documents available for our working group. This would require a bit of work via the liaison process. Before we invest time to figure out how this procedure would work I would like to get feedback from the group whether there is interest in obtaining and reviewing the documents.

Interaction with the IAB

The chairs got the impression that it would be helpful to interact with the IAB to inform them about the architectural aspects of emergency handling. The monthly "Tech Chats" are a possibility for a presentation. We would like to thank Bernard Aboba and Dan Romascanu for their help.

The IAB Tech Chat on Emergency Services presentation took place on the 28th February 2007.

Follow-up actions need to be determined. See detailed status update at EcritStatusUpdate
