History of the Draft

• -00 Released Feb. 2006, after WG discussion going
  back several months.
• Attempts to fulfill a need to provide a template
  for the creation of new Enumservices, as well as
  clear explanations of the various recommended and
  required sections.
• provides a guide to and template for the
  creation of new IANA registrations of
  Enumservices. This document aims to enhance
  section 3 of RFC 3761, where the registration
  procedure for Enumservices was initially
  documented at a high level. However, the IETF's
  ENUM Working Group has encountered an unnecessary
  amount of variation in the format of Enumservice
  drafts presented to the group. The ENUM Working
  Group's view of what particular fields and
  information are required and/or recommended has
  also evolved, and capturing these best current
  practices is helpful in both the creation of new
  registrations, as well as the revision or
  refinement of existing registrations.

• Current Text 3.2. Enumservice Registration
  for "foo" with Subtype "bar" (MANDATORY) This

  URI scheme?
• 4 Should there by any statement on the use of
