Hello,

I like to recommend the following change, from

"The "abuse-mailbox:" attribute must be available in an unrestricted way 
via whois, APIs and future techniques."

to

"The "abuse-mailbox:" attribute for a given object must be available in 
an unrestricted way via whois, APIs and future techniques with a single 
request".

because its not clear how the right abuse-mailbox field could be found
for example via whois.
It will be no help, if there is a first request needed to find the
abuse-c and a second request to read the abuse-mailbox field.
This could lead to reach limits, if either the access to the abuse-c
field is limited or if there is no other method (like a new whois flag)
to directly request the abuse-mailbox field from the abuse-c

Somebody at the RIPE NCC told me last week, that they intend
to integrate the abuse-finder-tool (wich will surely return the 
abuse-mailbox-field from the abuse-c in a preferred manner) into whois 
with a
new option, if the proposal gets through, but it should be clearer
in the proposal, that its intention is, to receive the value
of the abuse-mailbox field with simply one request.


Kind regards, Frank
