more authority for mnt-lower in the allocation objects

Hi Lir-WG,

this is a hostmasters argument upon my question why I am not able to
change the contacts and mnt-routes in my own allocation by myself. 

I am interested if somebody else is sharing my opinion.

Hostmasters argument:
"It is not possible for you to update an allocation object because
RIPE NCC is the maintainer of these objects, which makes sense. :)"


This is my opinion:
Yes, it makes sence that RIPE NCC is the maintainer of a LIRs
allocation.
But in my opinion it makes NO sence that Cable and Wireles (and all
other LIRs) as mnt-lower
do not have the authority to change their own administrative and
technical contacts in the allocation.
There must be an restricted authority for a mnt-lower to change things
like that by their own.
I think especially about following attributes: (marked with +++)


inetnum:      62.208.0.0 - 62.208.255.255
netname:      DE-ECRC-970502
descr:        ECRC GmbH
country:      DE
+++++admin-c:      EN65-RIPE
+++++tech-c:       EN65-RIPE
status:       ALLOCATED PA
mnt-by:       RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT
mnt-lower:    CW-EUROPE-GSOC
+++++mnt-routes:   CW-EUROPE-GSOC
changed:      hostmaster at ripe.net 20010814
source:       RIPE 

In my opiniom it makes no sence that for a very simple change in the
allocation, that does actually not affect 
the allocation itself we have to send requests to the hostmasters and
wait sometimes weeks for their handling.
I think that persons that stand behind the respective reg-id should have
this authority.


Best regards,
