No direct relation to ANSI but... INRIA appeared to be the second
organisation to have obtained a numerical Id (2) and to have secured
an alphanumerical id (INRIA) in France following the procedure defined
by AFNOR in its standard Z60000.

The use of the numerical identifier in NSAPs and object identifiers is
defined by the standard Z60000.

The initial reservation was handled by Francis Dupont at INRIA, and was
charged 4500 FF by AFNOR (approx US$ 900). The reservation of the name
will cost an annual fee of  800 FF (US$ 160).

Francis Dupont commented that the current tariff would enable AFNOR
to by all downtown Paris before they run out of numbers -- they have
reserved 24 bits...
