I support to support e164.arpa.
Nobody knows, if an existing distributed call routing system is needed to 
overcome the limitations of VoIP-oligopols.

I guess the real question is whether or not anyone actually uses e164.arpa.

I found a few hundred queries per day in the Whois query logs for e164.arpa 
domains.

My (perhaps mistaken) impression has been that while it was an interesting idea 
in theory, in practice non-technical considerations made public ENUM deployment 
challenging at best, a non-starter at worst. From 
https://www.ripe.net/manage-ips-and-asns/dns/enum/request-archives/, it looks 
like there’s been no delegation activity for a decade. If it’s not being used, 
I suspect spinning up interest in the IETF for an RFC may be difficult…

Is our time better spent in supporting e164.arpa in RDAP, or deprecating 
e164.arpa?

If we need to continue to support e164.arpa (per RFC 3245), then I suggest we 
should also support it in RDAP. The NCC can create a short draft RFC to extend 
the RDAP domain object type, and update Whois to match. We can request the 
other RIRs to add a redirect in RDAP for e164.arpa.
