Hi Hans Petter, [...] The differences between LIRs and DAUs are in part (a). LIRs can get allocations from the NCC, make assignments to customers, get help from the NCC with the Assisted Registry Check, be a sponsoring LIR for others etc. DAUs only get something for themselves. They aren't allowed to assign any rights to third parties, so their registry services are much more limited.
While I don't think it is a common activity, iirc, there are some LRHs which are doing exactly that, since quite a while. And imho, we are going to see other proposals getting tracation, which would remove even more "special things/limitations". The next one I guess is address transfer, just like the stuff for for PI. And, from my point of view, LR just *is* PI, ok, old PI. So, the farther I try to look into the future, the more the currently different colours on the address blocks, which we do love so much, will become a uniform, well - gray? Wilfried. [...]
Cheers, Sander
