[enum-wg] Documentation of ENUM requests

Dear colleagues,

on 3 Sep I have sent the email quoted below to the list.

Other than stated in the last sentence, we felt it necessary - in 
particular in the absence of any so far - to solicit for more input and 
therefore to extend the discussion period.

I have just given a short, one slide presentation in the ENUM WG session 
which is (temporarily only?) available at:

https://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-53/presentations/uploads/Wednesday/schiefner-enum_request_documentation.pps

(PPS, no PDF yet). Please find a TXT version here:

                       Advantages	Disadvantages

ZIP file containing   Less hits when searching,    Potentially large ZIP
all documents         concept of a „single file    file to download for
                       per case“, easy              just a small piece
                       maintenance: just put        of information
                       additional stuff in the
                       ZIP file

Separate files, all   Good overview, well          Many hits when
linked on a           structured filing, concept   searching,
per-country basis     we had already               potentially confusing
                                                    – maybe still not all
                                                    relevant documents
                                                    returned

Please be invited to comment at to let the WG know about your preferrences.

Dear colleagues,

this is to start a discussion - if necessary - on how the RIPE NCC is
supposed to document ENUM requests.

As a short recap: 1.6 of the "IAB Instructions to the RIPE NCC Regarding
operation of the domain e164.arpa ("ENUM")"
[http://www.ripe.net/enum/instructions.html] mandates that "all
communication regarding the application for a specific delegation is to
be publicly archived".

That used to be done from the overview page at:
http://www.ripe.net/enum/request-archives/

by a link to the respective E.164 CC specific page, eg. Germany at:
http://www.ripe.net/enum/request-archives/enum-request-arch+49/

An archived snapshot of the overview page is available at:
http://web.archive.org/web/20030826073846/http://www.ripe.net/enum/request-archives/index.html

The RIPE NCC has now proposed a way of documentation where - instead of
having a separate page per E.164 CC request - the overview page links to
ZIP archives that would contain all sorts of communication like emails,
scanned letters and faxes etc. pp.

I intend to set the deadline for this discussion to the WG session at
RIPE 53 - please be invited to voice any concerns, suggenstions etc.
here on the list until then.

Best,

	Carsten Schiefner
