Shepherd writeup

> Document Shepherd Writeup per RFC 4858 template, (dated 24 February 2012),
for the following work group draft: > >
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ecrit-additional-data/ > > > (1)
What type of RFC is being requested (BCP, Proposed Standard, > Internet
Standard, Informational, Experimental, or Historic)?  Why > is this the proper
type of RFC?  Is this type of RFC indicated in the > title page header? > > RFC
type being requested for this draft is “Proposed Standard”, since the draft
provides guidelines. > > > (2) The IESG approval announcement includes a
Document Announcement > Write-Up. Please provide such a Document Announcement
Write-Up. Recent > examples can be found in the "Action" announcements for
approved > documents. The approval announcement contains the following
sections: > > > Technical Summary > >  Relevant content can frequently be found
in the abstract >  and/or introduction of the document. If not, this may be > 
an indication that there are deficiencies in the abstract >  or introduction. >
> [Abstract] > When an emergency call is sent to a Public Safety Answering
Point > (PSAP), the device that sends it, as well as any application service >
provider in the path of the call, or access network provider through > which
the call originated may have information about the call, the > caller or the
location which the PSAP may be able to use. > > This document describes data
structures and a mechanism to convey such > data to the PSAP.  The mechanism
uses a Uniform Resource Identifier > (URI), which may point to either an
external resource or an object in > the body of the SIP message.  The mechanism
thus allows the data to > be passed by reference (when the URI points to an
external resource) > or by value (when it points into the body of the message).
 This > follows the tradition of prior emergency services standardization >
work where data can be conveyed by value within the call signaling > (i.e., in
body of the SIP message) and also by reference. > > > Working Group Summary > >
 Was there anything in WG process that is worth noting? For >  example, was
there controversy about particular points or >  were there decisions where the
consensus was particularly >  rough? > > There was a good amount of work group
participation in contributing, discussing, and revising the details that make
up the draft.  There were no significant controversies noted on the list, and
all dialogues were efficiently attended to with during the development stage. A
successful development progression is documented in the ECRIT working group
minutes and in email list archives. > > > Document Quality > >  Are there

(9) How solid is the WG consensus behind this document? Does it > represent the

the WG as a whole understand and agree with it? > > There is strong work group
consensus to move this document forward to RFC status. > > > (10) Has anyone
threatened an appeal or otherwise indicated extreme > discontent? If so, please
summarize the areas of conflict in separate > email messages to the Responsible
Area Director. (It should be in a > separate email because this questionnaire
is publicly available.) > > No. > > > (11) Identify any ID nits the Document

type reviews. > > There are no MIB, media, or new URI types referenced to in
this document. > > (13) Have all references within this document been

normative references to documents that are not ready for > advancement or are

the plan for their completion? > > No, and therefore N/A. > > > (15) Are there
downward normative references (see RFC 3967)? > If so, list these downward

existing RFCs? Are those RFCs listed on the title page header, listed > in the
abstract, and discussed in the introduction? If the RFCs are not > listed in
the Abstract and Introduction, explain why, and point to the > part of the

considers it unnecessary. > > No referenced RFCs will change in status due to
publication of this document. > > > (17) Describe the Document Shepherd's
