Niall, could you please expand on this a little? Is this list open to anyone interested in Irish ENUM developments or is it just for those who took part in the Irish trial? Does this new list have any impact on future ENUM stuff in Ireland such as migation to a production service, progresing unresolved issues from the trial, etc, etc? I'd like to know more about the list's purpose before deciding to join or not.
Jim, Thanks for asking. I'll give terse answers to your questions in context, then a fuller explanation. On 21 Jun 2005, at 15:51, Jim Reid wrote:

Yes.

Not just those.

Not directly, but see below.

Indeed. As you probably know, the Irish ENUM Trial formally ended at the end of March. The Final Report of the Irish ENUM Forum is in preparation and will appear soon. ComReg set a deadline of 15 June for expressions of interest in moving towards commercialization. A number of such expressions were received, and ComReg declared "game on". The alternative, in default of any expression of interest, was to stall for 18 months. We are setting up a Policy Advisory Board (PAB), whose job will be to address issues either raised in the Final Report or otherwise recognized as we prepare for commercialization. The PAB will meet from time to time as necessary, and will use a private mailing list for advancing its work outside of meetings. The Interest Group mailing list will be used for a number of purposes: - nomination of PAB members; - input to the PAB from the wider community of interest; - announcements from time to time by the PAB; - suggestions from and discussion by the membership. A third list is also in place, where strictly operational issues can be dealt with separately. So far, the PAB has a Chair (myself) and representatives of ComReg and MCI. Further nominations are welcome from those who can show themselves to be stakeholders rather than interested onlookers. For transparency, nominations should be sent to the Interest Group list, ENUM-353-IG@listserv.heanet.ie. Thus _nominations_ to the PAB are made in public. I shall exercise discretion in accepting nominations, and may insist on being convinced of the case for any nominee. In case of doubt, contact me first. Or, to put it another way: ENUM-353-IG: shop window; ENUM-353-PAB: cognac and cigars; ENUM-353-OPS: plant room. I hope this answers your questions, Jim. /Niall
Thanks for the detailed clarification Niall.
