Dear Carsten, Thanks for your e-mail. The RIPE NCC provides DNS operations for e164.arpa zone (ENUM) in accordance with the Instructions from the Internet Architecture Board, https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/dns/enum/iab-instructions Following the Instructions, the request that you mentioned was submitted on 6 Jul 2010 https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/enum-announce/2010-July/000159.html and ITU-T TSB objected this request on 2 Aug 2010 https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/enum-announce/2010-August/000162.htm... Therefore this request was completed in approximately one month. In accordance with the Instructions, "2.4 ITU-T TSB can at any point directly instruct the RIPE NCC to delegate any E.164 Country code (CC). The format of the instruction from ITU-T TSB must be in a format specified by the RIPE NCC." Following this, the instruction from ITU-T TSB was received on 22 May 2015 https://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail/archives/enum-announce/2015-May/000186.html and was processed on the same day. Please let us know if you have further questions about this. Please note that in accordance with the Instructions "1.6 All communication regarding the application for a specific delegation is to be publicly archived" (which includes this reply). -- Sincerely, Mike Petrusha RIPE NCC On Wed, 27 May 2015 21:27:08 +0200, Carsten Schiefner wrote:
