Here's the text that should go in this Contribution. I hope it gets community support.
The RIPE NCC regrets to inform Study Group 2 and the TSB that Contribution SG2-C-0196 (C196), was ill-prepared and based on misunderstandings. It does not reflect the opinion of the NCC or the RIPE Community. The RIPE NCC sincerely apologises for the confusion which has been caused. C196 should therefore be withdrawn. We respectfully request colleagues pay no further attention to C196 and proceed on the basis it had never been submitted to Study Group 2.
We are happy to confirm there are no technical or procedural changes to the operation of the e164.arpa ENUM registry. RIPE NCC is pleased to inform Study Group 2 and the TSB that the current, long-standing agreements around this registry remain in place and are unchanged. It has no plans to alter them. The RIPE NCC will continue to operate this registry in the same neutral, stable and professional manner as it has done since e164.arpa was created.
