Now, this doesn't have anything to do with Star Trek in any form... :-)

The acronym NCC in my case stands for Network Coordination Centre and I use
that header to communicate with RIPE NCCs database (and staff). RIPE is the
European IP authority, similar to ARIN in the US and APNIC in the Asia-Pacific
region. They're all regional parts of IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority).

I need it to reference which Local Internet Registry I represent whenever I
communicate, both when talking to automated services and to regular people.

And to get back on topic - I just tested it and their software requires the
exact header to be present so the comment thing won't work.
