For a change to your allocation object (maintained by the RIPE-NCC-HM-MNT) you can send a message to the ticket in which the allocation was approved. You could also open a new ticket by sending a message to <lir-help@ripe.net>. BTW, the RIPE NCC Hostmaster wait queue is currently between 2-3 working days.
