It’s almost here!

One of the three authors has retired.

One has left the company.

One has a new assignment within the same company.

Three years after the “Dallas treaty“, when most of us have stopped believing that this will ever happen, we’re now finally in AUTH48: Combined User and Infrastructure ENUM in the e164.arpa Tree

[UPDATE, 2009/05/05]

It’s done. RFC5527 is now reality.

The starting point this time was a series of switches.

Stupidity at Evanzo

Dear Evanzo,

the contact emails in the whois records for the domains you manage are there for a purpose: If there are troubles with these domains, the responsible people can be contacted in order to get the problems fixed.

And there is a good reason these whois data is not just a blob of Ascii, but structured data: Scripts can parse the records and e.g. automatically send email to the right address.

Getting back autoreplies stating basically “please use this web-form” is not going to cut it. We will not special-case our scripts to fill out web-forms just to accommodate your setup.

You, and your customers will simply not get our Mails regarding defaced Websites hosted by your service.

Your decision, your loss.

I tried a different starting point with this one: a series of switches branching off a central piece of track. The result was a very tight, squiggly set of tracks.
