Yes. And when the owners want an update they may be locked in the process och showing that they are in fact the right owners. We have a customer, a large corporate group that everybody in my country knows about and I would even say most people would agree that the original owner of a /16 is now part of this group and ask no further questions but what documentation is there now from a merger in 2000?
Exactly because of the complexity, the NCC should require payment for registration services to handle the request.
Reality check, please. I cannot relate to complex business mergers and such, but in our environment, the perceived "complexity" is home-grown from the wrong end. Because we try to attack it from a central point of view, instead of making use of the existing "hierarchy" and operational knowledge.

For a sizeable chunk of such addresses the management of "proof" of holdership is easy: the holders have been in existence (and using IP numbers) since decades, have been conneted to a common infrastructure (a network and an LIR) and still do exist. So, unless someone in Amsterdam wants to see "paper", the whole thing is easy and cheap: the sponsoring LIR confirms the existence of the org and the connectivity to e.g. the NREN. Full stop. Pretty simple + cheap :-) Wilfried.
