None of the policies seemed to specify this. As such, I would think that Connectivity Independent Leasing (CIL) and Connectivity Related Leasing (CRL) would be subject to exactly the same recording/reporting requirements.

All of the organizations I know of that are leasing space apply the term downstream as it pertains to the issuance of the addresses regardless of the connectivity relationship.

I suppose policy clarity here could be useful, but I suspect that just like ISPs, the situation will basically boil down to “those that want to comply will do so in good faith and others will not.”
