Although not mentioned directly, the press picked up some action on the venue survey specification that the group has been working on.  I thought folks might be interested in this as well as some of the other activities going on concurrently.

From the Economist yesterday:

There is some light at the end of the shopping mall, however. A draft now working its way through the Internet Engineering Task Force, a body that develops online standards, proposes a standard set of location-related measurements and data-rights disclosures. This would provide a common format for wireless-signal surveys and give venue owners a voice in how their indoor maps could be used.
