I believe section 1.1 entirely addresses this point. The definition of IR
does not preclude service providers, nor does the definition of ISP preclude
either regional internet registries or end sites. Summarised, they are:
IR : an entity undertaking the role of resource issuer.
ISP : an entity undertaking the role of resource recipient who is the subject
of a Resource Certificate.
Under this definition of ISP, would an RIR that received resources from
IANA and received a resource certificate for those resources be an ISP?
If not, why not?
