<p>All of this exercise at definitions and ambiguity discoveries points to a total warp in the afrinic fee structure. That is what needs equitable review, not definitions.</p>

There exists the potential for an organisation that neither uses its IP<br>
assignments *exclusively* for its internal use, nor *primarily* assigns<br>
address space to end-users. (Note the emphasised words.) From the<br>
discussions, most universities come to mind.<br>
<br>
Ergo (at least some) universities are neither end-users nor LIRs.<br>
<br>
Which is why I think that end-user should be !(LIR || RIR).<br>
