Remembering the discussions on various lists and infos I got
from the NCC I would summarize the big picture like this
(but maybe Tobias or Brian could do this much better):

- introduction of the abuse-c
- outlining a time schedule when the abuse-c HAS to be there
   (what would lead to an automatic cleanup of other fields
    and removal of remarks by the maintainers)
- tools could be introduced for an easier migration
   (e.g. a function in the LIR portal, that
    could "remove all occurrences of my abuse-mailbox field
    with the value foo at bar.com with the abuse-c FOO-RIPE",
    another function could be "show me all my objects
    that include an email address in the remarks")
- integration of the abuse finder tool into whois and other APIs
   (what would make other places unneeded and unused)
- automatic technical validation (syntax, domain checks,
   MX and A record checks, check of mailserver availability
   either when the abuse-c is updated or repeating or both)
   with automatic reminders being sent to the maintainer
- repeating validation via feedback links or similar
- maybe a kind of automatic deletion of other places or fields


Kind regards, Frank
