Introduction

RFC 3761 [1] defines e164.arpa as the domain from which DNS
delegations of E.164 country codes are made. The Internet Architecture
Board (IAB) has delegated the task of running DNS operations for that
zone to the RIPE NCC.

The instructions from the IAB to the RIPE NCC can be found at: 

http://www.iab.org/documents/docs/sg2-liaison-e164-sep-02.html 

The RIPE NCC has committed to follow these instructions. 

The RIPE NCC will send announcements to the <enum-announce@ripe.net>
mailing list. This is a public mailing list.

All information, including archives of correspondence, can be found at:
 
http://www.ripe.net/enum/  

Questions for the RIPE NCC regarding ENUM should be addressed to
<enum-request@ripe.net>. 

Contact with the International Telecommunication Union,
Telecommunication Standardization Sector, Telecommunication
Standardization Bureau (ITU-T TSB) should be with the address
<richard.hill@itu.int>.

By completing and submitting the ENUM Request Form, the requester
acknowledges, understands and accepts the following:

* The RIPE NCC only operates this service under the instructions by
  the IAB; All decisions regarding delegations are made by the ITU and

* are neither the responsibility of the RIPE NCC nor of the IAB.

1.Technical Requirements for Setting up the Zone

The RIPE NCC will only evaluate the technical set-up of the zone once
the ITU has decided that the zone should be delegated.

Anyone setting up a zone needs to be familiar with RFC 1912 [2]. Zones
under e164.arpa need to comply with RFC 1912 [2].

Prior to delegation, both primary and secondary nameservers should be
configured and answering queries for the zone.

2. Database Information Please complete the following database
templates. Once the delegation is granted, these objects will be
registered in the RIPE Whois Database.

An example of the completed database templates is presented in the
appendix to this document.

For more information about the RIPE Whois Database, please refer to
the "RIPE Database User Manual: Getting Started" [3].

Documentation about how to complete the database templates can be found at:

http://www.ripe.net/perl/whois?-v+domain  (for the domain object)

http://www.ripe.net/perl/whois?-v+person  (for the person object)

http://www.ripe.net/perl/whois?-v+role  (for the role object)

http://www.ripe.net/perl/whois?-v+mntner  (for the mntner object)

zone-c:        [mandatory]  [multiple]   [inverse key]
nserver:       [optional]   [multiple]   [inverse key]
sub-dom:       [optional]   [multiple]   [inverse key]
dom-net:       [optional]   [multiple]   [ ]
remarks:       [optional]   [multiple]   [ ]
notify:        [optional]   [multiple]   [inverse key]

Please note that although the maintainer attributes are optional, we
strongly recommend using a maintainer to protect your domain object
from unauthorised changes. Maintainers also protect against the
unauthorised creation of objects representing sub-domains. See also

2.5. Maintainer Object.

2.2. Administrative Contact

The administrative contact is typically the person responsible for the
administration of the respective zone under the e164.arpa domain.

person:        [mandatory]  [single]     [lookup key]
address:       [mandatory]  [multiple]   [ ]
phone:         [mandatory]  [multiple]   [ ]

2.3 Technical Contact

The technical contact is typically the person or people responsible
for the technical operations of the respective zone under the
e164.arpa domain. This contact can be in the same organisation as the
administrative contact or an organisation that operates the zone on
behalf of the administrative organisation.

person:        [mandatory]  [single]     [lookup key]
address:       [mandatory]  [multiple]   [ ]
phone:         [mandatory]  [multiple]   [ ]

e-mail:        [optional]   [multiple]   [lookup key]
org:           [optional]   [multiple]   [inverse key]

2.4 Zone Contact

The zone contact is typically the person or people responsible for the
DNS operations of the respective zone under the e164.arpa domain. This
contact can be in the same organisation as the administrative contact
or an organisation that operates the DNS on behalf of the
administrative organisation.

person:        [mandatory]  [single]     [lookup key]
address:       [mandatory]  [multiple]   [ ]
phone:         [mandatory]  [multiple]   [ ]
fax-no:        [optional]   [multiple]   [ ]
e-mail:        [optional]   [multiple]   [lookup key]
org:           [optional]   [multiple]   [inverse key]
nic-hdl:       [mandatory]  [single]     [primary/look-up key]
remarks:       [optional]   [multiple]   [ ]
notify:        [optional]   [multiple]   [inverse key]
mnt-by:        [optional]   [multiple]   [inverse key]
changed:       [mandatory]  [multiple]   [ ]
source:        [mandatory]  [single]     [ ]

or

source:        [mandatory]  [single]     [ ]

2.5. Maintainer Object

Database objects should be protected with a maintainer. The maintainer
provides user configurable security for objects referencing it. It can
help stop unauthorised changes to the database object representing the
zone. The maintainer is referenced in the "mnt-by" and/or "mnt-lower"
attributes of the domain object. It can also be referenced in
"person:" and "role:" objects. The maintainer of database objects is
the person or organisation responsible for creating, modifying or
deleting these database objects. Multiple "mnt-by" or "mnt-lower"
attributes can be included.
