you may want to check with your local RIR for this address space. It
is generally a good thing to establish a relationship with the local
RIR in any case.regards,

I'll agree that working with an IR is a good thing. However
it really doesn't have to be the incubent RIR. LIRs work as
well as folks (such as myself) with pre-RIR delegations.
Its also true that having the address space held by a neutral party
(not the realestate folks, the telco/transit guild, or the
content farmers) can enhance the value and longevity of the
exchange.
