Dear Hans, colleagues, Thank you for confirming the community's position and engaging with SG2 to provide some clarity to this matter. As probably not everybody has an ITU account, could you be so kind to publish a copy of the contribution on the RIPE NCC website (of course blocking the personal information). Also, as you indicated you talked to the SG2 chair, did she by any chance reveal the results of the member state consultation that was triggered by the previous contribution? Having an overview of what the various member states views are might also provide the RIPE community with information to feed into any subsequent discussions concerning the future of ENUM. In that sense, ITU's efforts might be of some value after all. Kind regards, Marco Hogewoning From: Hans Petter Holen <hph@ripe.net> Date: Thursday, 27 August 2026 at 11:23 To: RIPE NCC Cooperation Working Group <cooperation-wg@ripe.net> Cc: Jim Reid <jim@rfc1035.com>; Gabor de Wit <gdewit@ripe.net> Subject: [cooperation-wg] Re: Liaison statement on Public ENUM under e164.arpa for the September 2026 ITU-T Study Group 2 meeting U ontvangt niet vaak e-mail van hph@ripe.net. Ontdek waarom dit belangrijk is<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification> All, I have followed the discussion in the working group and want to thank Jim for setting us straight and for providing the text for the contribution from the RIPE NCC and the RIPE community. I see a clear consensus among the participants in this discussion for Jim's proposal. After internal discussions, discussions with the RIPE NCC Executive Board, and a meeting with the chairs of ITU Study Group 2 yesterday, the RIPE NCC will submit the proposed text as the RIPE NCC contribution to ITU Study Group 2 today for their upcoming September meeting. Going forward, the lead for maintaining the ENUM registry is our Chief Registry Officer, Gabor de Wit. We will, as always, work to improve the execution of our registry processes to ensure an accurate registry in cooperation with the relevant stakeholders. I trust this will satisfy the community and set a clear path forward. Sincerely, Hans Petter Holen Chief Executive Officer RIPE NCC Phone: +31 20 535 4444 RIPE NCC , P.O.
