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

Yes this proposal is only mentioning how the data should look like and
how it is stored. Because the Task Force was not intended to do more so
far. We all have talked about the problems and how we could solve them,
but this was not the intention. Community wanted us to solve the problem
on how abuse contact information will show up in the RIPE Database,
because the first proposal was too technical and went into a wrong
direction.

If Community wants the Task Force to go on and take care of the data
accuracy. That is fine and I know that the Task Force will be happy to
do so. But this proposal is a first step into this direction.

Maybe it will get clearer as soon as RIPE NCC has published their
implementation thoughts. Since I can not talk for RIPE NCC in behalf of
implementation and operational issues I have to stop this discussion
here and take care that RIPE NCC is joining this discussion.

Never the less thanks for your thoughts and thanks for the suggestions.

> +1, why not review and add how to accomodate the accuracy of data. 

Because we can not boil the ocean at once. ;-)
The implementation of this proposal will take steps to make things
easier while looking at data accuracy.

We have an accuracy problem in the whole database and not only with the
abuse-c. So let's differentiate and mix not up things.

Thanks,

Tobias
