Not sure which list is appropriate so please reply only to the list that people point out as the one which should handle the following issue: I have modified a number of objects to be now LEGACY objects. inet-nums and aut-nums. When the object is processed and converted into a LEGACY object, RIPE auto-adds the following line to each object: mnt-by: RIPE-NCC-LEGACY-MNT This is documented here: https://www.ripe.net/data-tools/db/release-notes/ripe-database-release-1.77 Policy 2012-07: Legacy holder organisations cannot change their organisation name in their org object if it is referenced by an INETNUM or AUTNUM that is maintained by RIPE-NCC-LEGACY-MNT. I then noticed I needed to delete some import and export lines on my aut-num policy. No can do any more. I now get the error: Authorisation for [aut-num] AS378 failed using "mnt-by:" not authenticated by: RIPE-NCC-LEGACY-MNT, AS378-MNT So this now means *every* change to any legacy IP block or ASN has to go via RIPE. But I have been unable to find how to go about informing RIPE that I need to make an object modification. Any pointers would be helpful. Regards, Hank
