[ncc-services-wg] Complaints about becoming a new LIR

It may be if you are trying to announce the subnet when all net announced 
other way.

But if LIR gives you an own /32 (like /19 for IPv4) that only you announce it 
into the Internet with your AS - how it can interact with other net an AS 
that are does not interact other ways that they are got from one LIR?

In addition, I asked a question on LIR courses about what will be with 
assignments if LIR goes down, for example because of no payments. The answer 
was "all assignments will be exist". Also LIR can't change or delete objects 
does not protected by LIR's mntner, so LIR can't delete or change their 
assignments given to other companies.

So I see no reasons to become a LIR if you need only IP/ASNs (even v6), but 
not registration services, as well as you don't need to become the registrar 
for registering your corporate domain name (or even few corporate 
domains). ;)
