I am wondering if the draft should mention that Local Internet
Registries (LIRs) may sometimes take the form of National Internet
Registries (NIRs) since this is now a reality in some places?
All of the "NIRs" I've encountered can be construed as LIRs under the
terms of the definition of LIR in that region. apnic and lacnic I belive
specifically recognize the term.
The current text doesn't exclude such an arrangement, but given
that this draft is an update to reflect current reality, it might
make sense to include mention of NIRs explicitly, even if their
mere existent may be considered "controversial."
Or is that just one can of worms you wish to leave unopened?
