I don't know if ISP and LIR are truly identical in meaning throughout the NRPM
and if not, then a global change would be a policy change and every instance of
that change should be considered and debated explicitly. It would definitely
NOT be a mere editorial change.
However that does appear to be the case for Section 6.5, and clarifying that
(versus the current ambiguous wording) is important and matches, as far as I can
tell, both community and ARIN's current understanding and procedures This
clarification should be made. But the proposed substitution of "section" for
"document" is still ambiguous which Andrew's proposed wording resolves. I
support his sensible proposal.
Nothing says we can't review the entire NPRM later and determine that each and
every instance of "ISP" and "LIR" should be treated identically and every
instance of "ISP" should be changed to "LIR", OR that the NPRM would be clearer
if such a change was made, with exceptions noted in a few instances where LIRs
and ISPs should be treated differently, OR that there are cases where LIRs and
ISPs are currently treated differently, but the community wants to change policy
so they are no longer different, but any of these policy changes is much broader
than the current proposal and should be a separate proposal, not shoe-horned
into this one.

If the intent is for the definition in 6.5.1a to apply only 6.5, then the text
of the proposal should probably be updated to reflect the specific section to
which the defintion applys not a generic 'section'.
6.5.1a should then read
The terms ISP and LIR are used interchangeably in section 6.5 and any use of
either term shall be construed to include both meanings.
Hope this helps,
Andrew

Bill & Cathy –
The policy proposal is intended to correct what is regarded as an editorial
error. When Section 6.5.1a was added, it is believed the intention was for it
to apply to the “section” (Section 6.5) only, and is interpreted that way in
practice. However, it was written with the word “document,” which could
unintentionally allow someone to suggest it implies a larger context (the
whole of NRPM.)
This proposal seeks to clarify by adjusting the language in 6.5.1a to
explicitly state that everything in Section 6.5 applies to both LIRs and ISPs,
even though the language of the section only uses the term LIR. Elsewhere in
NRPM there are distinctions between LIRs and ISPs that are relevant for policy
implementation and, as a result, there is a distinction between LIR and ISP in
those contexts.
To think about it holistically – for all sections of NRPM aside from 6.5, LIRs
and ISPs have distinct differences. Inside of Section 6.5, anywhere it
references an LIR, that policy also applies to an ISP. This policy changes the
word “Document” to “Section” to ensure there is no confusion about that.
Hope that helps –
Doug

Definition Update
I think the question is why are you replacing "document" with "section"? So
is LIR not used in the rest of the "document"? If it is then doesn't it still
mean what it means in this "section"?
Thanks!

Hi William,
This particular change is only to the actual word used.
The proposal seeks to replace the word “document“ with “section”.
So as it pertains to that section in policy both terms can be used.
Hope that helps.
