In November 27, 2015, the ENUM Service for Academia website - NRENum.net - received a new member: RAU, the Uruguayan National Research and Education Network, that received the following message by e-mail “Welcome RAU, Uruguay to NRENum.net! Thank you very much for your cooperation and help and time! Country code +598 is now officially delegated to RAU, Uruguay!”
This achievement of RAU is also an achievement of the Work Package 4 of the MAGIC Project, that seeks the establishment og agreements for real time collaboration.
The NRENum.net Service is an end-user ENUM service run by the GÉANT Association (formerly TERENA) and participating NRENs (National Research and Education Networking organisations). The service is aimed primarily at academia.
