Attached ...

However considering the source of these documents  ..the well known 
Permanant Delegate of Syria to the ITU I'm not overly concerned about their 
impact, but this requires careful monitoring.  John I'm in total agreement 
the principle that the price of the Internet freedom is eternal vigilance .

I have some ... some ..confidence in SG-2 management to "do the right 
thing" here and in any event. IMHO the most important task for the global 
ENUM community to accomplish is getting the delegation for 1.e164.arpa to 
North America ASAP and commence short lived trials that will lead to 
commercial deployment.

Once that is done I think we would have sent a message that e164.apra is 
real and that further discussions on the matter of a different root are futile.

That process is well underway.. discussions over how the ENUM LLC 
management entity will act are taking place almost weekly . I'm also very 
confident that there well be responsible,open ,and competitive bidding 
processes for both the US and Canadian portions of the NANP within the late 
2005 very early 2006 time frame.
