Hi Ondrej, > My point was that not only ENUM registries exists in current internet. > We are .cz domain registry and while I don't have problem with whatever > label we have in RIPE database (we do have LIR atm), we don't exactly > fall into LIR category (in it's original meaning - ie. ISP). Hence I > could easily imagine that our org-type: would be changed to REGISTRY to > match reality a bit more. I see. But although LIRs are indeed mostly ISPs AFAIK the term was never strictly meant or used for ISPs only. There is Enterprise LIRs, too - these LIRs do get allocations as well, but make assignments only for own purposes, they do not assign address space further down the food chain. NICs from my PoV would clearly fall under that category - if they became an LIR once. So although I see where you coming from and aiming at, I'd say that in these cases the governing agreement between RIR (RIPE NCC) and LIR (a NIC aka. ccTLD registry) is the standard LIR agreement - so the type "LIR" seems to be more correct to me... Best, -C.
