I have to agree with Bernie here.  For a formal adoption it makes sense to have
at least some volunteers lined up to do the review, unless one is prepared to
continue with the "silence is consent" approach.

Yes, but: draft-ietf-enum-trunkgroup-00.txt, although expired, still is on the
WG's plate.  So, I think the right questions to ask are

1) Is anybody but the authors/editors of the respective drafts believes the WG
   should say anything in this direction (trunk groups). [But see the "price tag"
   under (4)]
2) Do you agree to abandon the approach in draft-ietf-enum-trunkgroup-00.txt?
3) Is the content of draft-malas-enum-trunk-sip-00.txt a better start instead?
4) Is anybody willing to review draft-malas-enum-trunk-sip-00.txt?

Then publish draft-malas-enum-trunk-sip-00.txt as draft-ietf-enum-trunkgroup-01.txt,
changing the intended state to Informational.

To start answering the question with the caveat already mentioned in
<http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/enum/current/msg06872.html>, the
registration proposed in draft-ietf-enum-trunkgroup-00.txt doesn't really look
like an ENUM service.  From that perspective, the approach proposed in
draft-malas-enum-trunk-sip-00.txt appears more straight forward to me.
However, I think the draft needs more review and it should be clearer on its core
statement; right now it is structured so much as a counter proposal to
draft-ietf-enum-trunkgroup-00.txt, so it doesn't really stand on its own feet --
which is fine for a "-00".
In summary, I'd abstain from (1), answer yes to (2) and (3) and would do (4) as
far as my non experience with the core subject matter allows.
