Re: [ripe-167] Impressions brought from Moscow meeting

IMO, every LIR is free to decide about the RIR they want to be served, and it could happen, that LIRs at the same country will be served by different RIRs.

OK, but what do you feel about the corollary: is a RIR free to choose any LIR that seeks service, or is it constrained to serve only those within a certain (or sometimes uncertain) geographical area? Before answering, remember what the E in RIPE, the A in ARIN and the AP in APNIC stand for. Regards. Mike Norris
