Dear Peter,
The maintainer AS9179-MNT maintains quite a lot of objects in the database. Do you want it removed from all of these or just some of them? Can you let us know which objects you no longer wish to be associated with.

No! Please leave everything for the moment... My question was a general one. Once I have the answer - which seems to be the one below - then I will forward requests to be removed as separate requests to hostmaster@ripe.net. It is that simply this situation is not covered in existing RIPE documents - or at least that I have read.
