<p class="MsoNormal">As a co-shepherd on policy 2024-6, Kendrick Knowles and I are soliciting the community for feedback on this policy proposal that was recently accepted as draft:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:#333333;mso-ligatures:none">Section 2.4 of the NRMP defines “A Local Internet Registry (LIR) is an IR that primarily assigns IP addresses
to the users of the network services that it provides. LIRs are generally Internet Service Providers (ISPs) whose customers are primarily end users and possibly other ISPs.” This statement differs from the intention of section 6.5.1a that allows section 6
to use LIR and ISP interchangeably. This proposal seeks to clarify the text in section 6.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
