Re: [Enum] My view of where we are in ENUM



Hi Patrik,
 
I do not really see a problem here
 
I do not see A, B and C as different camps (I do not understand D),
all of these 3 are valid ENUM applications
 
As Penn is saying, C is of no concern in IETF,
A is already solved
leaves B open:

This is also solved in the WG, the drafts are there
what is missing is a statement from IETF/IESG/IAB to the ITU-T
 
My proposal is that IESG/IAB is to offer the ITU-T to use also an apex
in .arpa and also to use RIPE NCC to operate the Tier-0, 
it is the ITU-T decision to take this offer or chose another apex
(and somebody else to operate it).
 
In SG2 Q.1 already a correspondance group has been created
at the last plenary in February (the rapporteur is Karen Mulberry from Neustar)
to deal with this issue (and awaiting a liaison from IESG).
 
In addition, to my understanding nobody in ITU-T considers that
this will have any influence on e164.arpa and  the Interim Procedures.
 
So what we need to do is advancing the 4 I-Ds to RFCs and send them with a
letter to ITU-T
 
Richard

Betreff: [Enum] My view of where we are in ENUM



Note: My co-chair have seen this, think the wording is correct, but 
these are my words

I identify regarding ENUM 4 different camps:

[A] User ENUM

The Public ENUM where the end user, holder of the E.164, is 
controlling the DNS and URIs.

[B] Public Infrastructure ENUM

ENUM that is in the public DNS, where lame delegation is not allowed, 
but the "carrier" responsible for the number (one and only one 
organisation, not the end user) is controlling the data in a way 
similar to A.

[C] Private Infrastructure ENUM

ENUM that is NOT in the public DNS, where groups of organisations on 
bilateral agreements can make information about the number public. 
Only parties signing up to the agreements can access the data in the 
DNS.

[D] Non-telephony users of ENUM

B (and possibly C - dependent on the agreements) treat "providers of 
telephony" special, using the regulative/legal definition of carrier 
as the special entity that part from the end user (as covered in 
solution A) can add data to the DNS. Category D include other 
providers of services, not the end user, that argue for them to get 
the same treatment as the carrier in solutions like B and/or C.

    ---- o -----

Out of these four, B is very vocal in the IETF. A participates, but 
is relatively silent (their problem is solved already). C is not 
participating in IETF but have their own conferences. D does not 
really exist, but I am nervous about the day when D get members, and 
what impact D might have on the solutions.

The solutions advocated for in the IETF related to B require a branch 
in the DNS tree, so that solutions for A and B are stored under 
different domain names, or apexes.

How that branch is created, where it is created, and whether it is to 
be created, is based on arguments that I personally feel we in the 
IETF are not capable of discussing. Especially as alternative C 
people are present in the discussions. Those discussions are such 
that I think (for example) ITU-T in SG2 should discuss.

What you should read of the note (that I stand behind that many of 
you objected to) is that I as co-chair tell IAB and IESG that I do 
not feel capable recommending the IETF to create a branch, or where 
some apex should be, of a specific kind without support from a 
combination of IAB and IESG. Plus a recommendation that many 
discussions that have been held in ENUM should be held outside of the 
IETF.
