I think this proposal is very good.

This is good. Also being able to disable it with '-r'. Will the database enforce any restrictions on the assignment of org-types, so that new IANAs and new RIRs can't be created, with potential for introducing confusion? I think this is a good proposal for an organisation object in the RIPE Database, Joao
