My request [AFRINIC Hostmaster #1001319]  just now got pushed back another day or so to explain this exact reason :D

Any case Refer to AS213481 (RIPE) where I did similar of what I what to achieve

Screen shots of RIPE DB web interface (Would LOVE to have AfriNIC at this level ;) of the process to add the remarks field (and what other attributes is addable and updatable with HostMaster interaction)
