  Given the fact that those address blocks were distributed before the RIR
  and NIR / LIR structure was devised, those blocks are _administratively_
  PI, or maybe "unspecified" which I consider equivalent (much like the
  very early LIR blocks :-)

  Technically, and wirth regard to services rendered by LIRs and RIRs to
  the holders of those blocks, I'd venture to guess that they should be
  offered a chance to "opt-in" to an existing LIR or ISP environment.

  Actually this is one of the aspects that I would have liked to tackle in
  the ERX-TF, unfortunately it looks like I might be too late to have
  those ideas discussed and considered, due to overload on my end for a
  while.

  One of the things we should have learned from the ASN relocation is that
  those parties are not in touch with the most recent administartive
  procedures imposed by the RIR (and why should they?), and they simply
  get mixed up when they suddenly receive messages from the NCC :-(
