If you feel you should qualify as an LIR,
With RIPE, an LIR is simply an organization that pays the membership fee and thus gets to submit requests for address space and AS numbers. ARIN doesn't seem to use this terminology except in their IPv6 address allocation policy.
That's what we were talking about. Shim6 and IPv6. The term LIR is used in IPv6 allocation policy in all regions and refers to an entity that assigns /48 blocks to its subscribers. Such an entity can receive a /32 from ARIN or RIPE or APNIC or LACNIC or AFRINIC.

hum... so what happens if i chose to delegated /56's to my customers? does that invalidate my LIR status 'cause i'm not toeing the /48 line? presuming of course i have LIR status along w/ the /32 that has ben delegated to me. to borrow a line, "some days your the IANA, some days your the endnode" --bill
