[address-policy-wg] 2008-05 Revised/New Discussion Phase set (Anycasting Assignments for TLD's and Tier 0/1 ENUM)

PDP Number: 2008-05
Anycasting Assignments for TLD's and Tier 0/1 ENUM

While I strongly support the proposal for more than 1 anycast assignment
per TLD/ENUM tier1 operator, I do have some problems with the definition
of the ENUM tier1 operators.

Where it says:

"ENUM operators as defined by the ITU"

I think it should say:

"ENUM tier0/1 operators as defined by RIPE NCC"

I wouldn't want the ITU to determine who should get address space, and
the counterpart for IANA in the ENUM space is RIPE NCC.
I see the ITU more in the role ICANN has with regards to TLD's, or
perhaps even the US DOC.
