Sorry - you said that earlier upthread, I was only focusing on the
certification bit here.  

Sponsoring LIR seems to work out well if there is "friendly and trustworthy 
LIRs" around, and at least for our "sponsorees", the ability to deal with 
someone local in our native language trumps the "direct contract, no 
intermediate parties" alternative.  

But I can see that others might want the latter, and the policy explicitely 
requests the NCC to install that - so indeed, it should be done in a 
reasonable way.

(*sigh* there go my evening plans for Wednesday... this will be a long
and just so slightly heated discussion in the ncc-services WG, I'm afraid)
