If I am correct, the proposal is on the improvement on finding the correct and valid contacts for abuse handling. Unfortunately, the proposal does only mention a possible techical solution on how this data can be stored. It leaves speculation on how the goal (such as valid contact data) can be achieved, which is (for my opinion) the most crucial part. (I am not talking about stuff that is beyond not cooperating members, etc.)

If the above is not covered in this very same proposal, you should do so (maybe in a second proposal) before abuse-c is released. I am convinced that if you specify "just another object", the situation won't be improved (in terms of finding the right contact data).
