[enum-wg] The ENUM Federation: activities, website etc.

Richard, John -

but isn't this - "telephony" using IP - and/or a transition to it 
happening right now, at this very moment anyways?

Regardless if there is a certain ENUM flavour being used for it or not?

So what I am asking is whether ENUM really makes the difference in 
"encouraging assumptions or debates about why ITU should have control 
over peering and routing policies and perhaps even authorization of 
carriers and services", as John has stated.

Best,

	Carsten
