Ballot Text

Technical Summary
 
This document describes the functional specification and the
definition of the ENUM NAPTR record for IFax service. IFax is
"Facsimile using Internet Mail".  For this use, the DNS returns
the email address of the referenced IFax system. This mechanism
allows email-based fax communication to use telephone numbers,
rather than requiring that the sender already know the recipient
email address.

This document was reviewed by both the FAX and ENUM working groups.
The FAX working group reached consensus on the document, and review
by the ENUM working group was requested.  Comments provided by the
