[DBWG] Remarks attribute for aut-num

[James Chirwa]

Hi Hendrik,

I take note of your concern and would like to clarify the circumstances.

Your request is a unique one, I have to say, it’s the first time we’ve 
received this type of inquiry. When we ask for additional information, 
it is mainly to:

 1. Ensure that our response and actions accurately meet the member’s
    expectations.
 2. Gain a better understanding of a new use case, which helps us
    enhance our support content for similar future requests.

Be assured that your request is being taken care of.

Regards,

James
