Hi Marcus,
We have had the same situation a few times. The problem seems to be that "Provider Independent" IP addresses are not at all provider independent since the LIR is usually the maintainer of the inetnum object, so the customer will not be able to take the PI net to another LIR unless the previous LIR agrees to release the object.
A solution could be to make the customer maintainer of the inetnum, that way the customer could simply add the new LIR's maintainer to MNT-ROUTES.
We recommend that End Users maintain their PI inetnum themselves if they want to do so. However, they are free to have their provider maintain it for them if they want that, instead. If a maintainer is unable to update the object for the End User then please contact the RIPE NCC and we will try to help. Also, it is worth noting that where two maintainers need to agree to the creation of a route object then both authentications can be passed to the database in the same e-mail. We have a graphical representation of the authentication rules at this page: <http://www.ripe.net/ripencc/faq/database/route-creation-checks.html> Kind regards, -- leo vegoda RIPE NCC Registration Services
