I agree that the current IRT model does not scale. I, wrongly, assumed
that irts could just be created without fuss as the webupdate
interface pretends you can simply add them without any manual
verificiation of RIPE.

A staged system (created, verified, etc) might make sense for IRT.
This would allow the RIPE to verify what they want to verify, yet
allow the RIRs to update quickly.

Alternatively, the requirements for IRTs could be losened.

Finally, an unverified abuse-c could function in parallel to a
verified IRT. This obviously introduces other problems.


All that being said, I still feel that a mandatory, unified,
non-rate-limited abuse contact Is A Good Thing.
