Hi, I'm a bit puzzled on the purpose of adding this. A few notes inline:

It does when the 'org-type' is 'LIR', right? Every LIR is represented in the database by one such object, I thought. Though you are then not required to refer that org from every object you have in the RIPE db. > Thus maybe the correct place is just in the organisation object. That makes more sense to me, since a regid is just an identifier of certain organisations, which already have an LIR-type organisation object. > Though, it depends on the purpose of why we would add it; knowing which LIR > an object exists for would be a good thing, and I do not think all objects > have an org reference either, though inetnum/inet6num & amt-num likely yes, > thus adding it to organisation would help a lot already to normalize that. This is the main confusion I have: what does "which LIR an object exists for" mean? Sure, I can see the relation in case of an ALLOCATED-BY-RIR inet6num. But what about my mntner? My person object? An ASSIGNED PI inet6num? For the latter, I suppose you could link the sponsoring LIR, but their relation is quite distant. It sounds like you're trying to attach all objects in the RIPE db to a specific LIR, but I think that does not make sense for all objects, and I'm also not sure what the purpose is.
