architecturally/technologically *impossible* for a entity from country A to via-the-hierarchical-trust-model block a prefix assigned to some entity in country B, that is assigned by B's RIR and in full accordance with the RIR policies and in no breach of any contract.
countries do not have RIR's, countries have NIR's... regions have RIR's.
In this context, at least, perhaps the NIR should be considered superfluous or redundant? What is the operational rationale behind the NIR level? Wouldn't a flatter RIR-LIR structure do just fine? mh
