[address-policy-wg] 2008-05 Revised/New Discussion Phase set (Anycasting Assignments for TLD's and Tier 0/1 ENUM)

I just realised that I responded directly to Antoin and missed cc to
the group, so here was my response, apologies for the confusion.

 However the reason this was put there is that as I undertstand this
 area, it's not the RIPE NCC's responsibility who gets an ENUM Country
 Code, those are I believe approved by the ITU and then administred by
 the RIPE NCC. So I think "ENUM tier0/1 operators as defined by RIPE
 NCC" would be factually incorrect.
