Hi all,

I agree with the NCC in regards of "not trusting an LIR". Becoming an LIR is easy (money wise and procedure wise) and does not imply a high value of trust for the LIR.
But then we should preferably think about how to make LIRs more trustable ... IMHO the hierarchy of internet-number-assignment is intended to make the processes more handleable ... if the RIR does not trust his LIRs, what is the RIR for? Then we'd only need one world-wide registry (so probably ICANN) and they have to validate stuff... or we think about trusting the LIR (and maybe even make a withdrawal of resources extremely expensive for the LIR if he did not fullfill his obligations) and make it easy and possible to fullfill all regional (in this case countrywise) requirements all over the RIPE region.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand this as the reason for having LOCAL internet registries!
Absolutely. And RIPE still has about 10000 members so the NCC probably has some work to do just keeping track of the membership. I am in favour of this trust chain model. If the trust is misused, then the trust as well as resources may be revoked.
