Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
Abstract
The article examines the intersection of technical and governance challenges posed by the ENUM protocol, which bridges traditional telephony and internet systems by converting phone numbers into domain names. It highlights how ENUM's development and implementation have become a focal point for broader debates about internet governance, particularly the balance between national sovereignty and global coordination. The analysis underscores the political and international implications of technical decisions, emphasizing the need for a more neutral and multilateral approach to managing critical internet resources.
