For the agenda of ENUM wg at RIPE-50
by Patrik Fältström 05 May '05

05 May '05

We have two additional important points for the agenda of this wg: (1) Reconfirmation of the task of this wg Initially, the participants of this wg requested the creation so that operational experiences of ENUM could be exchanged and recorded. These experiences could be everything from sort of technical DNS issues, via how to implement technically regulatory "bottlenecks", to experience of how to set up registries etc. We have the webpage where the status of ENUM deployment is recorded, the mailing list and the meetings to fulfil this pretty generic task. This is at least what we chairs of this wg believe the task of the wg is, but, we want to check this is matching the interest of the RIPE community. (2) Transfer of responsibilty to new co-chairs As expected and planned, myself and Kim don't have so much time to work actively as leaders of this group. Because of this, the wg accepted Niall O'Reilly as co-chair of the wg. We would like to do the following changes now, to fulfil the transfer of leadership. Suggestion: New co-chair, and primary contact for the wg: Carsten Scheifner Continuing co-chair: Niall O'Reilly Removed co-chair and primary contact: Patrik Fältström Removed co-chaor: Kim Davies We would like to know whether this is ok with the participants of this wg. Both at the RIPE-50 meeting and via this message on this mailing list. Any objections should be rised on this list or at the physical meeting in Stockholm no later than the meeting itself. Patrik, co-chair and primary contact for the ENUM wg

Australian ENUM trial launched
by Humphries, Vince 05 May '05

05 May '05

The Australian (not Austrian) ENUM trial was launched in Melbourne today by the Australian communications minister. It was announced at the launch that the Australian regulator has entered into an agreement with AusRegistry International Pty Ltd (www.ausregistry.com.au <http://www.ausregistry.com.au> ) to provide and operate the registry service for the trial. AusRegistry International is a subsidiary of the company that is the current registry operator and wholesale provider for all commercial .au domain names and certain non-commercial .au domain names. The go-live data for the trial will be Monday the 6th of June. At this early stage, 2 registrars -- Enetica (www.enetica.com.au <http://www.enetica.com.au> ) and AARNet (www.aarnet.edu.au <http://www.aarnet.edu.au> ) -- have indicated they will participate in the trial. The website for the trial is <http://www.enum.com.au/> www.enum.com.au. A media release from the Australian regulator about the trial launch is at <http://internet.aca.gov.au/ACAINTER.65636:STANDARD:1251996172:pc=PC_2980> http://internet.aca.gov.au/acainter.65636:standard:1251996172:pc=pc_2980 (sorry that our ENUM web pages haven't been updated yet -- hopefully that will be rectified in a few days). A meeting of the Australian ENUM Discussion Group is scheduled for Monday the 16th of May. The meeting will include a briefing on the way in which the trial registry will operate, plus will discuss specific objectives for the trial and the issue of rights of use of existing numbers that might be registered as ENUM domains. We're hoping we'll be able to webcast the meeting, so if any ENUM WG members would be interested in participating and can cope with the time difference (UK, IE, PT = -9 hours; rest of western Europe = -8 hours), let me know and I'll advise you of the arrangements.

2nd Consulation on VoIP by the Austrian Regulator
by Stastny Richard 26 Apr '05

26 Apr '05

FYI Richard http://voipandenum.blogspot.com/2005/04/2nd-consulation-on-voip-by-austrian… 2nd Consulation on VoIP by the Austrian Regulator >From the RTR web-site: The Austrian Regulatory Authority for Broadcasting and Telecommunications (RTR) is conducting a 6-week public consultation <http://www.rtr.at/web.nsf/englisch/Portfolio_Konsultationen_bisherige_bishe…> on the document "Guidelines for VoIP Service Providers <http://www.rtr.at/web.nsf/lookuid/83B3127191217CE3C1256FEF004C885C/$file/Vo…> " and invites all interested parties to submit positions and comments regarding the regulatory approach to VoIP services. RTR already held a public consultation on VoIP in June 2004 <http://www.rtr.at/web.nsf/deutsch/Portfolio_Stellungnahmen_nach+Datum_Stell…> with the results influencing RTR's comments to the European Commission consultation on VoIP, This second public consultation on VoIP gives opportunity to comment on RTR's modified position. Due to the international aspect of VoIP regulation, the consultation document is published in English. Comments are welcome both in English and German. All comments received will be published on RTR's website, as long as RTR is not explicitely advised not to do so. Please send your positions and comments until June 10, 2005 in electronic form (MS-Word, MS-Excel, PDF) via e-mail to konsultationen AT rtr.at The consulation defines two classes of VoIP services (Class A PATS+ECS and Class B unregulated) and deals mainly with numbering issues, interconnect requirements and access to emergency services. The proposed position is: If you are connecting to the PSTN in Austria you are Class A and therefore regulated. One major point here is that if you want to provide VoIP service with a geographic (local) number, you need a fixed termination point at this location. If you provide a nomadic service in addition, you need also an additional nomadic number below for display if you access emergency services. If you provide a nomadic (virtual) service only, you may use the number ranges 0720 and 0780 (ENUM) only. Since the outcome of this consulation is important also for non-native VoIP providers, I recommend that VoIP providers interested in providing VoIP services using Austrian numbering resources or to terminate calls via gateways in Austria to retrieve this paper and also to comments on their position.

ENUM Support for H323

All, FYI. Best, Carsten -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [E164-discuss] ENUM Support for H323 Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2005 15:27:07 +0800 From: Simon Horne <shorne(a)isvo.net> Reply-To: e164-discuss(a)lists.e164.org To: e164-discuss(a)lists.e164.org Hello I'm a senior developer on the OpenH323 project and am interested in extending support for ENUM within H323. We are very interesting in exploring opportunities with our software with GNUGK.org Gatekeeper and e164.org. I'll be submitting some patches to the GNUGK.org project to enhance NAT traversal and add ENUM support. We have also developed a commercial Win32 DCOM toolkit based on OpenH323 which supports 1. ENUM natively 2. UPnP NAT Traversal for Inbound calls (Outbound supported Natively (with matching patched H323 clients)). 3. H235 Incoming Caller Authentication & voice encryption. 4. H460.7 Digit Maps (for location dailing display ie +44 will display 'United Kingdom' etc) and also we are in final development of a Freeware IE Webpage plugin (for outbound calling with native NAT traversal support) http://www.isvo.net/v_meet.htm I am in the process of incorporating the ENUM h323: URI scheme ( rfc3762 ) with it. Can someone point me in the right direction about what's available on e164.org Thanks in advance Simon ******************************************************* Simon Home ISVO (Asia) Pte Ltd developer of the *Virteos H323COMtools *Win32 DCOM plugin based on the OpenH323 Stack http://www.isvo.net <http://www.isvo.net/>*******************************************************
