The location server can create dynamic web pages, and the clients can browse the web pages, 4. The location servers also act as gatekeepers. When the client sends a call setup message to the gatekeeper, the gatekeeper consults its gateway database and forwards the request accordingly 5. The location servers act as SIP servers.

Thus, the chair proposed that the group work just on the back end mechanism, and leave the front end mechanisms for later on. Masataka Ohta asked for the front end mechanisms to be added to the charter right away. Scott Bradner indicated that first we should at least complete the gateway location framework document, and then we could consider adding items to the charter. The next item on the agenda was updating of the milestones. An additional problem was that a gwloc framework document was not part of the current charter.
