With regard to the rest of your message - here is what we do, both as a Service Provider Registry and a as backbone provider which has to deal with routing:
We strictly refuse requests to assign address space for further sub-assignement. Adresses are *directly* assigned to the eventual user. If a service provider wants to act as a Local-IR, then the proper way of doing it is to get in touch with the RIPE-NCC and establish a registry of it's own.
Is that the general consensus in other countries?
This is policy for address space allocated/assigned via the RIPE NCC. If a local registry does it they remain responsible for the assignments. They will also have problesm with future allocations unless the all the sub-allocated space runs out at the same time.
Yes Europe is very organized - but what do you do about the USA?
Fix it. :-) Daniel
