[enum-wg] ERG to discuss VoIP

All,

in the meantime the ERG held its 12th plenary on Thu and Fri last week. 
And again, this may not be 100% ENUM related, but nonetheless of some 
interest. In particular as the ERG published a Common Statement on VoIP 
and its regulation this time.

Plenary's agenda:

Common Statement on VoIP:

This also got some coverage in the press:

Related to that, the ICC - International Chamber of Commerce - already 
in December last year went into the same direction and called for a 
light-handed approach to regulating VoIP etc.:
