Since it will be only possible for DENIC-members to change Person/Role-objects
in the DENIC-DB, as I assume, the workload of DENIC-members would raise
enormously when maintaining objects for their resellers (like we are)
is added to their responsibilities. Am I right here?

Ok. Then it is the DENIC-member's resposibility or fault that "we" didn't get
informed about these major-changes. Without being subscribed in this
mailing-list,
we wouldn't have been notified in any way, I think. 

I fully understand your tendencies to having the personal-data more secure
but I, and I assume many of other "resellers" too, would appreciate a
maintainer-system
like currently present in the RIPE-DB, that gives all ISPs the possibility
of maintaining
person-/rolehandles for them and their customers in the DENIC-DB.
