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

That is true, I will add this to the proposal in the next version.

This is an operational issue and can not be a 100% defined at this
point. The idea is, to transfer as much information as possible to the
system automatically. So from this point we could for example use a
admin-c or tech-c object that has already an abuse-mailbox as abuse-c as
well. That is one possibility. There probably will be a notification of
all members. There will be a cleanup process. But at the moment it is
much to early to define these things. And in addition to that, the
process of implementing and transition should not be part of the policy,
because once the policy is in place and all transitions have been made,
nobody will care about it anymore.

Same what happens if somebody does not comply with any other policy.
RIPE NCC will take care with the already defined processes that are in
place right at the moment.

In pieces I think you are right, but we should not put together things
that are not belonging together. The policy is about adding an abuse-c
in a specific way. The implementation will be added by RIPE NCC and what
happens when is also coming from already existing RIPE NCC processes.

But I will add the mentioned part to the proposal.

Thanks for your feedback,

Tobias
