[anti-abuse-wg] WHOIS (AS204224)

Hi,

Neither do I. But what I do think is that RIPE should do the work that it is set out to do, namely registration of data. It should do that very well. Make sure that the data is sufficient, valid and remains to be valid. And that clear indicators of that not happening should be seen as a problem/abuse. That does not make them the internet police, it makes them police their own data validity (the only thing of value). 

In that line of thought: I would like email validation on a regular basis. There are so many email addresses that do not work properly (what then is the sense of registering invalid data?). 

Now, I'm not sure how much mandate they get to execute a good job consistently. But it should at least be in their rules. Yours sincerely,
