3. ENUM – Status of US Implementation
Misson
The primary mission of the ENUM Forum is to develop the implementation framework for deploying RFC 2916 in a two-tiered DNS structure rooted under “e164.arpa” for E.164 numbers within the United States and a potential common implementation with other countries served by the North American Numbering Plan (NANP)
Scope
Develop Tier 1 and Tier 2 requirements documents that will include the architecture for the Tier 1 and Tier 2 name servers with detailed functional descriptions and message flows between the entities including Tier 1 providers, Tier 2 providers, registrars, telephone & application service providers, and end users. The work will also include discussing and exploring methodologies for interworking with other ENUM instantiations.
