>The name and address info in the RIPE database needs to contain the >person (or organisation) responsible for a certain amount of IP space, >in my opinion. I agreee, and the important word here is "responsible". >So, if an ISP wants to be responsible for the IP space it hands out to >customers, then the ISP should be free to fill in their own name and >address. Doing that means that an assignment (*to the customer*, in the traditional sense) has not been performed. >This gives ISPs the freedom to fill the RIPE db with names >and addresses of customers (that saves them the hassle of dealing with >for example abuse coming from that site), or putting their own name >in it (meaning they have to respond actively to for example abuse reports, >which is the ISP's job anyway). This is very similar to my reasoning regarding the usefulness of performing an assignment for a (small) site which does not fully (independently and in a responsible way) manage their address space.
