[anti-abuse-wg] 2011-06 New Policy Proposal (Abuse Contact Management in the RIPE NCC Database)

Hi all,

The IRT Object was degraded in the last few years. For example the
creation process was made pretty simple to allow more people to use it
as a abuse-c. The idea would be to go back to the original intent of an
IRT Object. So if you are running a cert I would suggest using the IRT,
if you are running an abuse department I would suggest using the abuse-c
and if you are running both, like many huge ISPs already do, I would
suggest to use both.

The clean up will be pretty tricky. We can not clean up remark fields
with abuse contact data. But we could for example ask members if the
remark fields are still required, if the remark field contains something
with "abuse" as soon as they make changes.
We would like to clean up as much as possible in an automatic way, but
if that is not possible it has to bee looked at in a specific way.

Thanks,

Tobias
