regulator prohibiting current practice of use of +49 numbers for voip, update
by Chris Heinze 24 May '05

24 May '05

hi! we had that some time ago. now it's getting more concrete: http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/51877 (german only again, sorry) short summary: regtp (the german regulator) now prohibits (voip) providers in general to give phonenumbers to users that do not live in the area of the respective prefix or have their company located there. this is effective from october 15th. btw: the non-regional prefix under +49 is still not in sight. so - of course :) - i have to mention the 'proposal for non-regional upts available to the general public' again. everyone interested in possible solutions to many voip-specific problems with e.164 numbers should really read this (can be found in the archive of this mailinglist). kind regards, Chris Heinze

Fwd: ETSI Plugtests ENUM Call for Expert and extension of Task Force
by Stastny Richard 26 Oct '04

26 Oct '04

FYI -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Patrick René Guillemin [mailto:Patrick.Guillemin@etsi.org] Gesendet: Di 26.10.2004 12:03 An: Plugtests Cc: PLUGETSTS-ENUM(a)LIST.ETSI.ORG; enum(a)ietf.org; sip(a)ietf.org; TISPAN_WG4 Betreff: ETSI Plugtests ENUM Call for Expert and extension of Task Force Dear All, CALL FOR ONE ENUM INDEPENDENT EXPERT AND VOLUNTEERS TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE TASK FORCE TO SUPPORT THE 1ST ENUM INTEROPERABILITY EVENT (Spring 2005) The ETSI Plugtests Interoperability service, hosted the first ENUM Workshop event in February 2004 to serve the whole global market in cooperation with the ETSI TC TISPAN committee. The ETSI Plugtests service is independent and has, over the last 4 years, gained a unique experience in organising 50 events for a broad range of domains. Further information on the service is available at www.etsi.org/plugtests. While being part of the ETSI structure, this service is self-financed and fully independent. Half of the organized events are related to non ETSI Standards (e.g. IPv6, SIP, Bluetooth, etc). The ETSI Plugtests service is now preparing a 1st ENUM interoperability event to be held spring 2005 with the objective of having a broad technical scope to address ENUM technologies. Preliminary ENUM tests could be conducted during the 1st NGN Plugtests from 29-Nov to 3-Dec: http://www.etsi.org/plugtests/NGN_VoIP.htm <http://www.etsi.org/plugtests/NGN_VoIP.htm> To serve all the global ENUM solutions and all involved companies in an open, independent and transparent process, ETSI is looking for further assistance and support in two directions: 1) CALL FOR AN INDEPENDENT EXPERT ETSI Plugtests Service is looking for appointing an independent expert mainly to assist in the definition of the ENUM interoperability event, its architecture, its test bed and on the test cases to be performed. This expert will be under contractual arrangement with ETSI and under the financial rules of the EU eEurope programme. He will coordinate the work under the supervision of both the ETSI TC TISPAN committee and an independent task force to be set-up for providing main input to the programme. The expert effort can be estimated in a range of 40 to 80 days. Should you like to be candidate for such expertise, please send your application and references to philippe.cousin(a)etsi.org (CC patrick.guillemin(a)etsi.org and plugtests(a)etsi.org) before 15 November 2004. 2) CALL FOR ADDITIONNAL VOLUNTEERS TO CONTRIBUTE TO A FIRST ENUM INTEROPERABILITY EVENT TASK FORCE ETSI Interoperability Service is looking for volunteers to extend the task force (EPTF, ENUM Plugtests Task Force) for providing inputs and guidance to the 1st Interoperability event in a more open, transparent and independent manner as possible . The main objective of this task force assisted by dedicated resources of an independent expert is to provide guidance of the architecture, the test beds, and the test cases. This 1st interoperability event should address all the interoperability concerns for the ENUM solutions. Should you like to be candidate to participate to this Task force, please send your application and references to Patrick.guillemin(a)etsi.org CC plugtests(a)etsi.org before 15 November 2004. Any expert is welcome, even non-ETSI members as long as the expert is committed to actively and constructively contribute to the work. It is expected that most of the work could be done by email and audio-conference but meeting(s) can also be convened when necessary. I am looking forward to getting a lot of applications and support Best regards Patrick GUILLEMIN, Coordinator of EPTF ETSI - Plugtests Technical Coordinator http://www.etsi.org/plugtests tel +33 (0)4 92 94 43 31 and Philippe COUSIN Interoperability Service Manager + 33 (0)4 92 94 43 06

ENUM Survey Compilation
by Kim Davies 24 Oct '04

24 Oct '04

Dear all, Last week the web page with the working group's ENUM survey was updated with all the responses received to date. You can see it here: http://www.centr.org/kim/enum/index.html It would be nice to have some more submissions and feedback! A number responded that they would undertake to answer it but never came back, so now would be an ideal opportunity. kim -- Kim Davies, Council of European National Top Level Domain Registries Avenue Louise 327, B-1050 Brussels; Tel. +32 2 627 5550

Patrik, I think the addition of Niall as co-chair would be wonderful.

Check on NAPTR Order field value default
by Conroy, Lawrence (SMTP) 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

Hi Folks, Adrian picked up an inconsistency between the IETF and ETSI documents. These give two different default values for the Order field of NAPTRs. I propose to change the ETSI document (current proposed default = 10) to fit with the IETF document (current proposed default = 100). So, as a quick (like before the end of the weekend) poll, does anyone use a NAPTR order field value of 10 as opposed to 100? - the ones I've checked use 100, and only mine have order field = 10. all the best, Lawrence

New co-chair of the ENUM WG
by Patrik Fältström 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

This is, I think, the right amount of time after the RIPE Meeting in Manchester to bring up this question. At the meeting, we got a volunteer to become the 3rd co-chair of the ENUM wg at RIPE. The person is Niall O'Reilly. If you have any objections to add Niall, please let me and Kim know. The time to object is (I decide myself) 2 weeks from now, after which Kim and myself will make a decision based on the input on whether we will send a recommendation to the RIPE leadership to add Niall. Regards, Patrik

For what it's worth at this stage, I'd note that most of my comments weren't incorporated and I wouldn't have voted to approve the report in the form that was published. Apart from a number of errors, there is mention of a reference document and various processes and policies that the forum hasn't even seen, let alone reached consensus on. I've found the forum experience interesting and educational. I hope everyone else has too. I look forward to hearing how the trial goes.

RE: [enum] [enum-wg] Report of the Irish ENUM Forum {01}
by Albert Redmond 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

Folks, Apologies for the confusion. Our Press Office had forgotten to activate the accompanying PA Report on the ComReg website. It's there now. A draft of the report had been circulated to the Forum by PA Consulting on Friday 24th September for comments by 30th September. This report was based on the one circulated and discussed last April and the ENUM trial to date. We understood that several comments were received and incorporated into the final document. ComReg had given a public commitment to publish the report by September '04, so we're running late! It also happens to coincide nicely with a paper we published on VoIP last week. Finally, if there are significant further learnings from the trial, the report will be updated in March '05. I hope this clarifies the situation. Best regards, Albert Redmond Senior Manager, Market Framework ComReg. -----Original Message----- From: Niall O'Reilly [mailto:niall.oreilly@ucd.ie] Sent: 20 October 2004 19:53 To: enum(a)consult.odtr.ie Cc: Niall O'Reilly; enum-wg(a)ripe.net; Irish ENUM Forum Forum Subject: [enum] [enum-wg] Report of the Irish ENUM Forum {01} Carsten, I can't throw very much light on this, I'm afraid.
