4.2Application procedure for approval to become an authorized blockholder4.2.1 Types of blockholders
There are two types of blockholders,administrative blockholders and card scheme blockholders.
Administrative blockholders (see 3.1) are assigned a block of llNs，following approval by the RMG，forre-assignment to card issuers that fall within their specific industry or geographic area of jurisdiction. Onceassigned, the lIN belongs to the card issuers unless it specifically agrees to relinquish the llN because it is nolonger used by them.The Registration Authority fee applies to each liN assigned from the block.
Card scheme blockholders (see 3.4) represent a group of card issuers.These blockholders are assigned ablock of IINs, following approval by the RMG, for assignment to the members of that particular card scheme. Ilfa card issuer relinquishes membership of that scheme the llN reverts back to the blockholder and use of it bythe organization must cease.The Registration Authority fee applies to each lIN assigned from the block.
4.2.2Application procedure
Where the applicant is applying for a block of llNs either as an administrative blockholder (see 3.1), or as acard scheme blockholder (see 3.4), the applicant shall complete a Blockholder Application Form (seeAnnex F) and provide the following supplementary information as justification:
a) whether the application is to become an administrative blockholder or a card scheme blockholder;
b) the reason why card issuers must receive lINs from a blockholder, rather than each card issuer applying individually to the Registration Authority for an llN;
c)description of the nature of the service that the applicants organization is planning to or currently provides;
d)whether the proposed blockholder will act as an agent for issuers legally associated with it, but each issuer is a separate corporate legal entity;
e) details of any future proposed plans, including where relevant the following:
1 ) number of IINs requested in block;
2) estimated number of cards issuers by country;
3) timing plans (i.e. estimated date for allocation of all IINs in the proposed block);
f) whether card acceptors can access all the card issuers in the card scheme, through an acquiring link;
g) whether the service provided to the issuers extends beyond networking, i.e. communications switching,
and if so in what way;
