Draft Policy ARIN-2024-6

---

Current Text (3 May 2024)

Problem Statement

Section 2.4 of the NRMP defines “A Local Internet Registry (LIR) is an IR that primarily assigns IP addresses to the users of the network services that it provides. LIRs are generally Internet Service Providers (ISPs) whose customers are primarily end users and possibly other ISPs.” This statement differs from the intention of section 6.5.1a that allows section 6 to use LIR and ISP interchangeably. This proposal seeks to clarify the text in section 6.

Policy Statement

Change the text from:

The terms ISP and LIR are used interchangeably in this document and any use of either term shall be construed to include both meanings.

to

The terms ISP and LIR are used interchangeably in this SECTION and any use of either term shall be construed to include both meanings.
