    What “registering your usage” means<\/h2>\n

    When you register your usage you create a sub-assignment<\/strong>: a more-specific record in the RIPE Database that states who uses the space, with your description and — through your organisation — your abuse contact. It is authorised by the mnt-lower<\/code> we delegate to your maintainer when you lease the range.<\/p>\n
