David,

The Internet2 "Reverse SIP.edu" ENUM experiment that you reference was
just that; it was never close to being ready for production.  Due to
resource requirements and other concerns, Internet2 is not planning to
administer a private ENUM.  For experimentation, one of the services
that you identify (e164.org, Stealth) should work just fine.

Supporting E164 dialing is very much not on the paved SIP.edu roadmap
at this point.  It's been discussed several times, but, if enough
members of the community feel strongly that higher-ed should
experiment with a private ENUM federation, it should probably be
discussed again.

Best Regards,
