Btw Christian, you probably know my position wrt borders, customs and taxes :-) > Anyhow, of course it should be kept if there is any use for it !

In many cases these happen to be the same (organisation) but this is not required. I think that we don't need the LIR info in objects describing *assigned* addresses because the IR that performed the assignment can be identified by looking at the less specific object(s). > Ok, let's finish this sidestep and find a solution for the country > attribute. I agree. The provider (or TLD admin) concept might become interesting again when we start to talk about hierarchical authorization for object creation, like route objects and domain objects :-) Wilfried.
