Well I cant personally make it but there is progress on the North 
American Front ... see attached letter to the US ENUM LLC from the US 
state dept.. I'm reasonably confident that trials in the US can begin 
late this year.

I can certainly testify to the intense interest in provisioning issues 
on this side of the pond.

In particular we're looking at SOAP/XML interfaces to the registry.  The 
reason for this is that EPP ( which is a fine protocol ) was designed 
for the highly unique business model of domain name registries and 
simply will not integrate into the kinds of customer management systems 
teleco typically deploy.

EPP was designed in the manner it is because the IETF has a really 
really stupid policy ( RFC 3205 ) on the use of HTTP as a application 
substrate.

I'd personally suggest a roundtable discussion ... Is ENUM the IP-SCP?  
Can ENUM kill the SS7 dragon?
