Hi DB-WG,

This may have been discussed in the past but a quick search didn't yield much.

Is there any reason for why ORG-NCC1-RIPE is marked as an LIR and not an RIR?

Does RIR imply another RIR?

I personally feel like marking the NCC as a member of itself is a bit odd, but honestly this is so minor so I understand if it was just not considered much.

I noticed that there is currently only one RIR org (ORG-AFNC1-RIPE) which I assume came about as a result of the ERX process.

(sidenote: ORG-AFNC1-RIPE is not referenced by anything except the role object anymore, so it might be somewhat redundant at this point)

Other related info I found:

Aside from the org-types of "LIR" and "OTHER" there are ~2300 orgs.

There is a RIR, an IANA, and a WHITEPAGES.

But the rest are "OTHER" but with differing capitalization (mainly Other and other).
