What is NRENum.net
NRENum.net provides countries, where the Golden ENUM Tree (e164.arpa) is not (yet) available, with the possibility to publish ENUM data. The NRENum.net tree is queried by the participating partners in case no ENUM data is found in the Golden Tree. Those countries that have already access to the Golden Tree cannot get a delegation in NRENum.net. As soon as the Golden Tree is available in a country, e164.arpa shall be used, and the delegation in NRENum.net will be revoked.
NRENum.net is an effort of National Research and Education Networks (NREN). More information about NRENum.net can be found in the charter (draft version). Currently over ten counties participate in NRENum.net
