I find this suggestion clumsy. It adds hard to parse extraneous 
information to simple objects. The organization object for a very large 
organization would become unmanageable and unintelligible quickly.

I would much rather like to see a new inetnum and inet6num object status 
"INFORMATIONAL" that only requires authorization of the immediately 
larger enclosing inet(6)num object, and doesn't represent an assignment 
or allocation at all. Such objects can then be used to redirect 
technical, administrative and abuse contacts to the proper places, as 
well as present their own remarks and descriptions.

This solution would cover PI, PA and all other styles of address blocks 
equally well. I know this has been suggested many times before, but I 
still think it would be a much more elegant solution to this problem.

Yours,
