With the increasing prevalence of address‐space leasing—effectively operating as “mini‐RIRs” for IP distribution—fragmentation of address blocks has become a critical concern.
How is that different from a regular provider assigning space (a LIR in RIPE terms)? They just need to keep the RIR data current for all their assignments, they are in no sense a mini RIR, that is a different function. As they are just renting out space that otherwise would have been allocated to a LIR then they should operate as a LIR. brandon
