I have some sentimental issues with the new ENUM request forms as I found out when I had to use them last week.

I'm pretty sure that, in English, "sentimental" is the wrong word and is likely to lead to confusion. I think I know what you mean.

The new ENUM registrations ask to register an Organisation holding the registration.

This "Organisation" template, has a "org-type:" field. RIPE tells me to fill in "NON-REGISTRY" in this field.

I'm aware that we are not an RIR, LIR or NIR as in the RIR world, but I do feel the term "NON-REGISTRY" a bit degrading as we are the registry for .nl and soon hopefully for ENUM.

Can we invent a new term to use for official ENUM tier-1 registries here ?

The "optics" do indeed seem non-intuitive. 8-) If some ENUM tier-1 registry would take the initiative to put a proposal on the table, and a few sister organizations gave support, we could have consensus in the ENUM-WG in time to feed into the DB-WG agenda item: Y. Input from other WGs I think we have "all the ducks lined up", as the saying goes; we just need a proposal. Best regards, Niall O'Reilly Co-Chair, RIPE ENUM Working Group
