Re: [Ietf] New .mobi, .xxx, ... TLDs?

% There are two proposals for .tel; here's text from one of them:
% 
%       Sub-domains of ".tel" may not be arbitrarily defined; rather
%       they are defined in accordance with the ITU E.164 standard.
%       A valid e164 domain name under the ".tel" TLD is defined
%       as follows:
% 
%       Start with a telephone number: 1-212-332-1234.
% 
%       Remove all non-numeric characters: 12123321234.
% 
%       Reverse the order of the number: 43212332121.
% 
%       Separate by dots: 4.3.2.1.2.3.3.2.1.2.1.
% 
%       Add the sTLD:  4.3.2.1.2.3.3.2.1.2.1.tel.
% 
% That looks like an ENUM competitor to me.  (The other .tel proposal
% looks like a generic TLD at first reading.)

        Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

        This is -exactly- the tpc.int. model,
                          the e164.int. model,
                          the e164.arpa. model...

        in a phrase...  "lacks traction"
