[anti-abuse-wg] Manual vs automated reports

Dear Arnold

 From the RIPE NCC website you can find an Abuse Finder tool
http://apps.db.ripe.net/search/abuse-finder.html

This is a first iteration of a user tool to help with finding abuse 
contact information in the RIPE Database. It tries to find the abuse 
contact(s) for an Internet resource on a 'best effort' basis.

One of the difficulties of automating this process at the moment is many 
abuse contacts are in "remarks:" attributes. These cannot be parsed by a 
script with any degree of confidence. This was one of the starting 
points from which the 2011-06 policy proposal originated.
