Subject: [Enum] FW: [SGA] VeriSign contribution to SG2

All,

Attached is a copy of a proposed contribution by VeriSign to the US
Department of State related to ENUM in a multiple root environment.  This
contribution has raised a significant level of attention with the US
National Committee process.  In addition, VeriSign has indicated that they
intend to present this contribution to the ITU Study Group 2 in the upcoming
May '02 meeting.  I though that the members of the IETF ENUM Working Group
maybe interested in providing comments to the VeriSign contribution.

Comments can be directed too: mailto:[email-masked]

Regards,

Rob Freilich

Hi Jamie, Marian,

Please find attached VeriSign's regular contribution
to SG2.  The deadline for regular contributions is
7 March, so this must be conveyed to the TSB next
week.  We expect this may also be useful in  your
deliberations leading up to the next SG2 meeting.

In light of the recent regular contributions on
DNS based services and ENUM submitted by US domestic
parties, we believe it appropriate to convey a
contribution that supports US pro-competitive
policies and providers in this sector, as well
as clarifies certain technical provisioning
aspects based on existing factual information.

Describing DNS based RBL services as one of an
array of rapidly growing and evolving market driven
database services similar to ENUM and using DNS
protocols, provides a compelling example and model.
Some will doubtless argue distinctions, but the
parallels are very close and quite compelling.

It seems also worth supporting and advancing in
global forums, the highly successful FCC policies
and cooperation within the U.S. telecom industry
in establishing an open, secure Intelligent Network
infrastructure of network element databases among
telecommunications carriers as constituting the
"authoritative" E.164 namespace - thereby allowing
Internet (or any other) computer network based
technologies and services emulating that authoritative
namespace to evolve substantially unfettered in
the marketplace.

best regards,

Tony Rutkowski
