Understood and agreed if those details are different then they absolutely should be registered in an assignment. Which the LIR could still do in the scenario I mentioned. But the LIR could also decide not to register if the infra assignment would simply duplicate their existing data. Which many LIRs already do. <br><br>Anyway, I don’t intend on pushing the river or repeating my perspective further. Just wanted to share my two cents :) <br><br>Regards, <br>James <br>[community member, apwg co-chair hat off]</div><br></div></div>
