| The State Department has a federal advisory council (FACA), known as the International Telecommunications Advisory Council, consisting of members of the communications industry that offers the State Department advice on negotiations before the ITU. One of the working groups of the ITAC is the ENUM Ad Hoc Working Group of Study Group A. On July 6, 2001, the ENUM Ad Hoc presented the State Department with a Report recommending action on the subject of ENUM. The Report recommends that ENUM be administered through a single unified database also known as a golden tree, that this unified database be located at the e164.arpa domain, that the ITU facilitate the administration of this database, and that the US work rapidly to implement ENUM. A copy of the Report should be available here.
The Report will be presented to the State Department in a July 31 Study Group A meeting. There will also be a subsequent Study Group A meeting on August 15. The State Department is preparing for a meeting at the ITU on Sept 4 where ENUM may be considered.
