What is very useful for an RIR to have is password controlled
access to a LIRs MRTG or other monitoring system so that graphs of IPs
in use can be seen by the RIR staff in order to evaluate additional
allocation requests.

Many European LIRs make this data available to RIPE staff as a
convenient tool for the LIR (instead of spending LIR staf time
aggregating this info).

Do you object to this type of "access" Andrew?

I agree that logins to routers, etc is not necessary.

I'm not sure the IANA has a procedure for such a complaint.
