> Will AUDA be addressing the delegation issue?

Responsibilities for ENUM reside with the Australian Communications
Authority (ACA) <www.aca.gov.au>, the ACA's Numbering Advisory Committee
(NAC) <www.aca.gov.au/committee/national/nac/nac.htm> and its National Study
Group 2.  See the following:

- SETEL Special Brief No 07/2001, 11 September 2001, Mapping of telephone
numbers into the Domain Name System
<www.setel.com.au/publications/public/briefings/sb0107.htm>

- NAC's National Study Group 2 (NSG2) <www.aca.gov.au/committee/nsg2>:

* ENUM <www.aca.gov.au/committee/nsg2/enum.htm>

* Proposal for ASTAP Work Program in relation to ENUM development,
implementation and administration
<www.aca.gov.au/committee/nsg2/astap.htm>.

- ITU ENUM <www.itu.int/osg/spu/enum/>.

The NAC members will be meeting this coming Wednesday and discussing ENUM.
I understand that auDA has been invited.  I'm a member of NAC.

> > Washington, DC - May 24, 2002 - The International Telecommunication
> > Union (ITU) and the Internet Architecture Board (IAB) announce interim
> > approval for a single domain for ENUM, a technology that builds a

> > Voice on IP networks today operate by translating telephone numbers
> > to IP addresses and placing an H.323 or SIP call to the device. The
> > interchange format and translation record has not heretofore been
> > standardized, limiting the possibility of deployment of multi-
> > corporate and international Voice on IP services. Under the ENUM
> > proposal, E.164 numbers can be represented as Internet Domain
> > Names,providing a scalable and standard way to translate the numbers,
> > and opening the way to such services. ITU has begun approving
> > delegations for the purposes of trials. "The lack of an interoperable
> > standard way to turn a telephone number into an IP Address has been
> > one factor limiting the deployment of Voice on IP services
> > internationally", said Leslie Daigle, Chair of the Internet Architecture
> > Board.

> > If desk-mounted computers or servers are given telephone numbers as
> > well as mnemonic names, this system further enables common telephone
> > handsets to place Voice or Video on IP calls to such computers. This
> > is a significant step towards integrating Internet-based services with
