	2.1 Internet Registry (IR)		Terms not defined in this document have the meaning given to them in the APNIC
			Definition Document and Policy Document.
	An Internet Registry (IR) is an organisation that is responsible for
	distributing IP address space to its members or customers and for
	registering those distributions. IRs are classified according to
	their primary function and territorial scope within the hierarchical
	structure.
	IRs include:
	- APNIC and other Regional Internet Registries (RIRs);
	- National Internet Registries (NIRs); and
	- Local Internet Registries (LIRs).
	2.2 Regional Internet Registry (RIR)
	Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) are established under the
	authority of IANA to serve and represent large geographical regions.
	Their primary role is to manage, distribute, and register public
	Internet address space within their respective regions. Currently,
	there are three RIRs: APNIC, RIPE NCC, and ARIN, although a small
	number of additional RIRs may be established in the future.
	2.3 National Internet Registry (NIR)
	A National Internet Registry (NIR) primarily allocates address space
	to its members or constituents, which are generally LIRs organised at
	a national or distinct economy level. NIRs are expected to apply
	their policies and procedures fairly and equitably to all members of
	their constituency.
	2.4 Local Internet Registry (LIR)
	A Local Internet Registry (LIR) is generally an Internet Service		https://www.apnic.net/about-apnic/corporate-documents/documents/corporate/definitions/
	Provider (ISP), and may assign address space to its own network		https://www.apnic.net/community/policy/resources
	infrastructure and to users of its network services. LIR customers
	may be other "downstream" ISPs, which further assign address space to
	their own customers.
	2.5 NIR-LIR member		2.1 NIR-LIR member
	----------------------		----------------------
	An NIR-LIR member is an LIR that is a member of an NIR.		An NIR-LIR member is an LIR that is a member of an NIR.
	2.6 Address space
	In this document, address space means public IPv4 and IPv6 address
	ranges, excluding multicast addresses, private addresses defined by
	RFC1918 and addresses designated for experimental use.
	2.7 Internet resources
	Internet resources are those resources administered by the Internet
	registry system including address space, autonomous system numbers,
	and in-addr.arpa domains associated with the address space
	administered by the registry.
