[anti-abuse-wg] Sources of Abuse Contact Info For Abuse Handlers

Dear Gunther,

Thanks for your suggestion. Prior to sending this document around, we
discussed this with Tobias Knecht and agreed not to include abusix at
this stage since it it mainly an interface to existing data sets and
not a separate data set on its own.

As a next step we would like to work with the other RIRs to see if
they're implementing similar concepts (such as abuse-c) and how we can
possibly include that in the next version of the document. At that
stage, it might make sense to also link to the abusix interface.

And we'll review the geolocation section, based on the comments sent to
the list.

If you have any other suggestions or comments, please let us know.

Kind regards,
Mirjam
