But at this point in time I can't think of any working solution as we indeed lack the tools to enforce. > For resources allocated or assigned to an LIR, this should be pretty > straightforward.

It basically also goes for PA, escpecially large LIR's usually can have multiple role accounts and not every country/department keeps their info accurate. And then of course theirs the group who actually put contacts in for the customer using the space. If you go upstream to the allocations I think the organisation object can be pretty accurate as it's also used for certain communications between the LIR and NCC but I can imagine you want a more fine grain. > > This is probably more something for the services working group.
