Just a point of curiosity...
For each newly created ORG record that is put into the data base, if the ORG record represents something other than a natural person, does NCC staff make any effort to check to make sure that the alleged non-person entity actually exists, I mean, you know, as a legal entity, somewhere on planet earth? ...
I think this depends on the context that you want to *use* said org object. If you put it in as a standalone and unreferenced database object, I think no vetting takes place.
If you want to tie resources to it that are maintained by the NCC (allocations [PA] or end user assignments [PI]) this needs to go through a NCC ticket, and they want to see paperwork.
In the context of your response, would one or more ASNs count as "resources" which would trigger manditory vetting of the associated ORG? Or is it only the association of some IP address block that causes NCC to vet the ORG? Regards, rfg
