[anti-abuse-wg] the mandatory abuse field

This conversation seems to be going round and round in circles and I'm getting quite confused.

My understanding was that the object / field would be used / assigned in any allocations of IP space. Can someone please explain to me how it is possible that an organisation could have IPs but not have an email address or website? And if that is the case, then shouldn't the next level up be taking responsibility for abuse of the resources? Or am I missing something?

I like the suggestion that the field be a URL that can be either a mailto or a http. I don't really care if some reporters have issues with this or not - I don't work for them and they're not paying me or anyone else - in fact many of them are getting paid .. so .. I also have issues with a lot of the automated reporting tools that some people insist on using, but that's off topic :)

I strongly oppose any "non responsive" type label being used. That will cause a lot of issues for LIRs and will do little to advance the anti-abuse ethic
