<p class="">The terms Internet Service Provider (ISP) and LIR are used
interchangeably in this document. A
Local Internet Registry (LIR) is an IR that assigns address space to the users
of the network services that it provides.
Therefore, LIRs / ISPs are organizations that reassign addresses to end
users and/or reallocate addresses to other ISPs/LIRs.</p>

<p class="">An end-user is an organization receiving assignments of IP

register any reassignments of that space.</p><p class=""><br></p><p class="" style>Thanks,</p><p class="" style>Scott</p></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 30, 2013 at 11:41 AM, Gary Buhrmaster <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gary.buhrmaster@gmail.com" target="_blank">gary.buhrmaster@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Using one term (LIR) everywhere has an advantage in reading of<br>
the NRPM (although I would assert few do (present company are<br>
the exception, of course), and fewer still can actually figure out<br>
all the nuances (or maybe I am projecting my own limits when<br>
reading the NRPM :-)). But, so that those that think of themselves<br>
as ISPs know how they are being referred to as, the 2.4 reference<br>
should probably be enhanced with something like:<br>
.. 2.4 Local Internet Registry [LIR] / ISPs<br>
..... For consistency ... the document uses the term LIR.<br>
<br>
As an editorial only change (since 6.5.1 explicitly states that<br>
LIR == ISP), this should not be especially controversial. On<br>
the other hand, I do not consider this important enough to<br>
invest a lot of resources into.<br>
