the content of the PDF can really easily be shared as plain text as well: Org-type Status Descriptions org-type can have one of these values: o 'IANA' This represents the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. The Public Technical Identifiers (PTI) performs the IANA functions related to the global IP and AS number spaces, such as allocations made to Regional Internet Registries o 'RIR' This represents Regional Internet Registries only, these registries have a primary role of managing and distributing public Internet address space within their respective service regions. Currently, there are five RIRs: AFRINIC, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC, and RIPE NCC o 'LIR' This represents all the Local Internet Registries, these are Internet Registries that receive allocations from an RIR and primarily assign address space to their customers also called 'end-users'. Their customers are other ISPs and end-users o 'EU-PI' This represents all the organisations (End-Sites) who receive portable IP address space directly from the RIR to run their own networks. These addresses cannot be sub-delegated or reassigned outside these organisations. o 'EU-AS' This represents all the End-Sites holding only ASN resources received directly from the RIR. o 'MEMBER-ONLY' This represents a non-active organisation that holds no IP resources from the RIR. The organisation may have applied for membership or is no longer an AFRINIC Resource Member. o 'CLOSED' This represents organisations that were at one point an active AFRINIC resource or associate member but no longer holds an active agreement with AFRINIC. (No applicable use case in AFRINIC for now but to be put to use soon). o 'INACTIVE-MEMBER' No applicable use case in AFRINIC (can be removed) o 'NON-REGISTRY' No applicable use case in AFRINIC (can be removed) o 'OTHER' These organisations can be created by any person on the AFRINIC WHOIS database for the purpose of sub-allocation, but does not represent an AFRINIC Resource Member o 'REGISTERED-MEMBER'These represent AFRINIC Board Members holding office. o 'ASSOCIATE-MEMBER' This represents an individual person or corporate body or the public sector who have signed the Associate Membership Agreement _______________________________________________ DBWG mailing list [email protected] https://lists.afrinic.net/mailman/listinfo/dbwg
