[db-wg] Org-types

Hi DB-WG,

This may have been discussed in the past but a quick search didn't yield
much.

Is there any reason for why ORG-NCC1-RIPE is marked as an LIR and not an
RIR?
Does RIR imply another RIR?

I personally feel like marking the NCC as a member of itself is a bit odd,
but honestly this is so minor so I understand if it was just not considered
much.

I noticed that there is currently only one RIR org (ORG-AFNC1-RIPE) which I
assume came about as a result of the ERX process.
(sidenote: ORG-AFNC1-RIPE is not referenced by anything except the role
object anymore, so it might be somewhat redundant at this point)

Other related info I found:
Aside from the org-types of "LIR" and "OTHER" there are ~2300 orgs.
There is a RIR, an IANA, and a WHITEPAGES.
But the rest are "OTHER" but with differing capitalization (mainly Other
and other).
