[arin-ppml] Revised - Draft Policy ARIN-2017-5: Improved IPv6 Registration Requirements

[David Farmer]

This has gone back and forth over the years, some people think "LIR" is too
abstract and some people think "ISP" is too specific. While ISP doesn't
have it's own subsection under definitions it is discussed under "LIR",
section 2.5, so I wouldn't say it's undefined. I think it's probably
dangerous to make a hard and fast rule either way.  I think it is probably
best to think of "ISP" and "LIR" as synonyms, at least from an ARIN policy
perspective, but just like many synonyms they have subtly different
connotations.

Thanks.
