A Question

[ Moderator note: changed local-ir at ripe.net -> lir-wg at ripe.net ]


Hello,
 Dear coleagues, Please excuse me if this is not the right place for
this kind of questions.
 I am working as a LIR hostmaster since 5 years ago. Due to the act of
people of another LIR, a question has rised in my mind. And I want to
know about any defined regulation in this regard. 
 The Question:

 Is it legal that technical persons of one LIR, ask their customer to
return other LIR assignments, because the customer has asked for new
IP assignment?
 This has been accured many times. Customer having some IP assignments
from LIR-1, are applying for new IP assignments from LIR-2. But people
at LIR-2 are saying that if you want new IP assignments, you HAVE TO
return LIR-1 assignments !!!!!!!

 Any comment?

Kind Regards,
IPM LOCAL REGISTRY, Tehran/Iran
Saeed.
