</div>Hi Scott,<br>
<br>
Keep it simple:<br>
<br>
1. There is no LIR. Only ISP. I get the distinction but it's<br>
needlessly confusing for everybody who isn't steeped in ARIN policy.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I was considering a global search-and-replace of LIR with ISP. If people think that'd be helpful, I'd be happy to include that change in the policy proposal.</div>
<div><br></div><div style>(FWIW, the term LIR is primarily used by some of the other RIRs, and the main reason it's in ARIN policy was that the IPv6 policy was originally a globally coordinated policy that used common language with all the other RIRs. But we can change it if we feel like it.)</div>

2. If you don't claim to be an end user, you're an ISP subject to all<br>
rules, privileges and fees.<br>
<br>
3. If no portion of your justification for IP addresses is based on<br>
assignment to and opaque use by a third party you may claim to be an<br>
end-user subject to end-user rules, privileges and fees.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div style>Yes, I think those summarize the distinction I'm trying to draw.</div><div style><br></div><div style>-Scott</div><div style>
