Your customer can add you as an official contact in the LIR Portal if necessary. That is the way LIRs can define who is permitted to speak on their behalf. I have done that in the past: got added as a contact, handled the case for them, and then was removed as a contact again. I can imagine that not all LIRs are comfortable doing that, but in that case the communication should go through the LIRs existing contacts anyway. As there are already existing authorisation mechanisms for who can speak on behalf of an LIR I don't see the need to create a new one specifically for brokers. Cheers, Sander
