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

You are quite right. At the moment, but few years ago, the IRT object
was not intended for abuse departments handling outbound abuse. IRT was
originally intended for certs exchange information about security
issues. And that is exactly what the IRT should be again, with all the
security measures, that were mandatory at the very beginning and got
canceled over time.

Thanks,

Tobias
