[anti-abuse-wg] Definition of Abuse

All,

My response was to off list 'comments" and I apologize to the list.
I clicked send, too soon, so I retract my previous post and offer only
the following:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Definition of Abuse as it should be defined by RIPE
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The non sanctioned use of a resource to infringe upon the usage rights
of another resource


Reasoning
-------------------------
"Sanctioned" - can have its own definition, so can "resource" as well as
"usage rights". 

The above covers all abuse scenarios and it does not tell anyone what
to do or what not to do. It is fair and reasonable and includes everything

I feel it is important to make the definition as simple and as general
as possible, to find a balance between freedom and responsibility.
