So far the consensus I have seen has been that this "watch" mechanism  
easily can be an opt-in system where the registry ask someone to  
notify them. Someone that do the tests the registry think is  
appropriate.
But, as John hinted at, management in e164.arpa is highly sensitive  
(as we all know) and also ITU-T is involved (not only RIPE NCC and  
IAB). There is an entity responsible for +39, and that entity has  
requested/approved a delegation. They are the ones that should keep  
track off the delegation in cooperation with the DNS operator THEY  
have chosen. If the DNS operator do not do their job, some clauses  
hopefully exists in some contract we do not know about that have some  
clauses that can be used in situations like these. Clauses that in  
many causes are not used without discussions in court, and possibly  
civil court cases when people are suing each other.
I think neither RIPE NCC, nor ITU and definitely not ENUM wg of RIPE  
want to be part of such discussions.
That said, maybe we in this wg should finalize the document that  
recommend a registry to "keep track of their delegation -- for example  
via an opt-in mechanism that check the delegation"?
Carsten, was this on your table, or do I remember wrong?

P.S. If the delegation is only to two IP addresses, in the same subnet  
(which we all know is poor management) what is the chance they would  
have done the opt-in? Slim, but still not _OUR_ problem.
