[enum-wg] Proposal for new org-type

This message has two purposes.

It is addressed to the ENUM WG with the purpose of determining consensus
in this WG on the proposal from Antoin Verschuren.

It is addressed to the DB and NCC-Services WGs as an inter-WG  
communication
to alert these WG's to expect a consensus in the ENUM WG and a  
request from
ENUM WG for related changes to the RIPE database.

I will declare consensus in the ENUM WG unless objections to Antoin's
proposal are posted on the ENUM WG mailing list before 12:00 UTC on
Thursday, 18 October 2006.
