Dear all,

Below are my rough notes from today's side meeting. A summary will follow in the slides being presented in the session tomorrow.

**********
-- Discussion whether to have only high-level location identifiers (e.g. broad geographic regions) as mandatory; Jon: that is what business agreements currently use; Rich: what about DVD-region codes; discussion what should be these mandatory location identifiers: DVD-region, Blue-Ray, ISO country code, IP-prefixes, AS-number? 
-- agreement that for footprint there will be a small set of mandatory identifier types, and protocol will be open for future optional types of footprints (similar as with capabilities)
-- Long discussion what needs to be mandatory and what optional
-- Francois: should new types of footprint be optional, or experimental? Do they need to undergo working group approval?
-- Discussion whether we need working group consensus or just expert review for new optional capabilities/footprints
-- Spec will define a process on how optional capabilities/footprints will be added
-- Clear agreement on country code
-- DVD-Region: cons -> could be mapped to ISO codes; pro -> is relevant from a content-DRM perspective; 
-- Clear agreement on IP-prefixes and AS number
-- Mapping of IP-address to AS number or country can be problematic
