Summary
Board authorizes the President and General Counsel to enter negotiations relating to proposed commercial and technical terms of .TEL sTLD with applicant; if negotiation successful, President shall present proposed terms to Board for approval and authorization.
...
There was a discussion regarding the .TEL application and specifically around the issues of compliance with the technical requirements from the sTLD RFP. Raimundo Beca raised the point that the constraints on .TEL should match the constraints place on .MOBI with regard to the registry of E-164 in the .MOBI domain name space.

As I explained to the board during our teleconference, I was unable to understand the differentiation between the .MOBI and the .TEL TLD. I also brought to the attention of the board the potential confusion which one board member had in connection with a presentation that -- a flash marketing presentation that was available in connection with the .TEL application in which the board member thought it was actually .MOBI. So based upon this confusion, I thought that there was a basis for us to seek community input under this provision before moving forward with the .TEL.
...
So this follows up on Raimundo's concerns regarding potential ENUM implications, and also the distinction that .MOBI was geared towards, I believe, companies that were going to be providing services to the telecommunications -- to the mobile phone users and .TEL was geared more towards the individual users. I did not find that an acceptable delineation under the guidelines which we've -- which were stated here."
