[anti-abuse-wg] 2011-06 Discussion Period extended until 7 May 2012 (Abuse Contact Management in the RIPE NCC Database)

Hello,

as promised I asked RIPE NCC staff to provide some stats on IRTs. Thanks
for answering that fast.

I got the following stats.

At the moment there 276 IRT Objects in the DB. The address space covered
by these IRT Objects in not trivial to calculate so I do not have
numbers on that.

But we have stats that are about 4 years old, which tell us that there
have been 121 IRT Objects in the DB. These 121 IRT Objects covered 1,7%
of the address space that time.

That means we have an increase of IRT Objects of approximately 40 per
year over the last 4 years. If the coverage factor is still the same we
should end up at approximately 3,8 or let's say 4 or even 5% of the
address space.

Knowing these numbers makes it in my opinion even more clear, that the
IRT Object is not a widely used object and there is a lot of space for
improvement. How ever this improvement looks like.

That's why I would like to wait for an implementation of the abuse-c if
we find consensus on that and look at the numbers of the IRT Objects
again and start making decisions on what should happen with it.

From my perspective at the moment there is everything possible.
Discontinuing, changing it or letting it as it is. But that will be a
community discussion and decision at that time.

Thanks,

Tobias
