The IESG has received a request from the Managing, Ordering, Distributing, Exposing, & Registering telephone Numbers WG (modern) to consider the following document: - 'Modern Problem Statement, Use Cases, and Framework' <draft-ietf-modern-problem-framework-03.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2018-02-15. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The functions of the public switched telephone network (PSTN) are rapidly migrating to the Internet. This is generating new requirements for many traditional elements of the PSTN, including telephone numbers (TNs). TNs no longer serve simply as telephone routing addresses: they are now identifiers which may be used by Internet-based services for a variety of purposes including session establishment, identity verification, and service enablement. This problem statement examines how the existing tools for allocating and managing telephone numbers do not align with the use cases of the Internet environment, and proposes a framework for Internet-based services relying on TNs. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-modern-problem-framework/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-modern-problem-framework/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
