[anti-abuse-wg] update on netsecdb project

Hi,

> > You did not describe a silver bullet.  The RIPE community has urged their members to stop spam and abuse for years, RIPE-409 says it quite plainly, this has been the repeated advice.  There are potential ways of enforcing this, but please do not claim that what has been discussed so far today will suddenly stop network abuse.

Sorry that blabla.

Does anybody have a better idea how to urge members to stop using
their allocations for spamming ?
Any real technical comments for my idea ?
Any improvement we could make to such a system and recommendation ?

I would love to work with all of you to develop a system we could all
agree to and that works and could be recommended as proposal for
the community.

Time is no problem, a change to RIPEs regulation can be timed for 1 or 2 years
until it will really end up in any punishment against spam provider.
This whole process can be slow.

Goverment regulations also have a time schedule.

Its stupid to stop thinking or working because the final goal is still far away ...


Kind regards, Frank
