I too agree that such a document would be useful. I will take a poll of the group and determine if there is interest in developing such a document, and more importantly, if there are people who are willing to actively contribute to it (edit/write/review). If so, I would be happy to add it as an iptel charter item. Input from enum folks would be needed too as the document evolves.Agreed that a charter probably isn't the right place to explain in detail the delineation between ENUM, TRIP, SIP server location via DNS, and so on. Personally, I think the text suggested by Jonathan below is useful, but a more complete description of the difference between these mechanisms is warranted. An Informational-track document explaining all of this would be nice - I worked on something along these lines, though I never completed it (I needed to add text about TRIP). If we need a WG to take responsibility for producing such a document, I agree that IPTEL would be a good choice.
Randy had a very short one published as draft-ymbk-enum-trip (July 2001).
Henning Schultzerinne had a very long one which I'm unable to locate just now - it might never have made it out of the IAB review cycle, or my I-D archive may be incomplete.
Resurrecting one and completing it might be worthwhile.
