WG: [Enum] I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-enum-e164-gstn-np-04.txt

["Stastny Richard" <[e-mail]>]

Hi James,

	congratulations to the new version of draft-ietf-enum-e164-gstn-np-04.txt. Its an excellent overview on NP issues.
	 
	Although I had not the time to check everything, a quick first remark:
	 
	Regarding Austria in the table Section 7, the sentence should read:

	Austria : Uses onward routing at the donor network.  Routing prefix is "86xx" where "xx" identifies the recipient network (instead of switch).
	 
	best regards
	Richard

		A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
		This draft is a work item of the Telephone Number Mapping Working Group of the IETF.
		
		        Title           : Number Portability in the GSTN: An Overview
		        Author(s)       : M. Foster, T. McGarry, J. Yu
		        Filename        : draft-ietf-enum-e164-gstn-np-04.txt

		This document provides an overview of E.164 telephone number
		portability (NP) in the Global Switched Telephone Network (GSTN).   
		NP is a regulatory imperative seeking to liberalize local telephony
		service competition, by enabling end-users to retain telephone
		numbers while changing service providers.  NP changes the
		fundamental nature of a dialed E.164 number from a hierarchical
		physical routing address to a virtual address, thereby requiring the
		transparent translation of the later to the former.  In addition,
		there are various regulatory constraints that establish relevant
		parameters for NP implementation, most of which are not network
		technology specific.  Consequently, the implementation of NP
		behavior consistent with applicable regulatory constraints, as well
		as the need for interoperation with the existing GSTN NP
		implementations, are relevant topics for numerous areas of IP
		telephony work-in-progress at IETF.

		NOTE:   The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
		        MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
		        feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
		        command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
		        a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
		        exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
		        "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
		        up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
		        how to manipulate these messages.
		               
		               
		Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
		implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
		Internet-Draft.
