Antoin and all, Good point. I certainly wouldn't want the ITU doing so either. But you know that there are some that are yet again pushing the ITU as having some sort of authority, however defined, to make such determinations... Antoin Verschuren wrote:
PDP Number: 2008-05 Anycasting Assignments for TLD's and Tier 0/1 ENUM
While I strongly support the proposal for more than 1 anycast assignment per TLD/ENUM tier1 operator, I do have some problems with the definition of the ENUM tier1 operators.
Where it says:
"ENUM operators as defined by the ITU"
I think it should say:
"ENUM tier0/1 operators as defined by RIPE NCC"
I wouldn't want the ITU to determine who should get address space, and the counterpart for IANA in the ENUM space is RIPE NCC. I see the ITU more in the role ICANN has with regards to TLD's, or perhaps even the US DOC.
