I also agree with what Tore Anderson and Richard Hartmann said about somehow clarifying the division between Sponsoring LIR and a possible Sponsored/child/sub-LIR under it. Sponsored/Sponsoring LIR is certainly easily confused, so Sub-LIR might be the way to go.


There are only two paths, from the RIPE NCC to LIR and from the RIPE NCC 
to End user (we may decide to change the name) via the Sponsoring LIR.
