The rest of the world uses the term, LIR, something which is totally meaningless and therefore could be precisely and unambiguously defined by the RIRs. Note that ARIN uses the term LIR in the IPv6 policy. Local Internet Registry has a vague whiff of an org that gets IP addresses and gives them to others, but only to those who already understand RIR stuff. The big question is, do all occurences of the term "ISP" in ARIN's policy and other documents, actually refer to the narrow definition of an LIR, or is ARIN also sometimes using the term with other contexts in mind. --Michael Dillon
