Scott, Bob, Michael, et. al.
From the perspective of a current operator with over xx VoIP carrier
interconnects running traffic, we (the current operators) have been
solving the problem with our respective DIAL-PEER prefix management.
This approach is somewhat of a pain to maintain, but current practice seems
to muddle along without use of externally "blessed" numbering
schemes. These prefix numbers are unique to specific gateway-gateway or
gateway-gatekeeper pairs. They are, therefore, cryptic enough to maintain
"proprietary information" boundaries that would be exposed if a public
COUNTRY/CIC
code plan were mandatory.
That brings up a HUGE issue of how to deal with the thousands of
"un-official" operators in the international (and domestic) VoIP community
who quite freely interact with the "official" carriers of the world. As a
protocol development group, we do not want to fall into the middle of that
muddle!

it seems that the IANA should not be recording values that someone
else assigns since they will get out of sync
