<br>
</span>Be careful with "simple" definitions like that. Anybody who operates i.e. a guest-wifi network or who allows employees to bring their own devices would be considered an LIR if you write it like that :) It might work better if you write "provides blocks of addresses to third parties" but I'm sure there are some edge cases there too.<br>
<br>
Anyway, just pointing out that simple definitions often don't work as expected in a complicated environment. This thread is discussing much more important things!<br>
<br>
Andrew made some very important points, and the community needs to decide on how to deal with the rapidly approaching run-out. With the current set of policies AFRINIC is approaching the exhaustion point *fast*. A conscious decision has to be made how to deal with that and whether to do/change anything, and there is one chance to do that. Hitting total exhaustion without having made a conscious decision as a community would be bad.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Sander<br>
