Richard,

There has not been any SG2 involvment to date in anything I have just read.


But I can assure you that there will be now.

Really ... Gary Steve was there any SG2 input to this thing ... this is 
totally wierd that a ITU WG would propose a totally different numbering 
scheme here in conflict with E.164 principals.. .

Of course ,u initial reaction here was

A. this is H.323  ... as in , so what. OK I'm a SIP bigot ..

B. a X.500 like directory .. been there done that , a guaranteed loser.

curious but fundamentally irrelevant..IMHO
