the real issue is that this is a complex layer 9 problem inside each
organisation, and although creating technological tickbox policies will
provide a veneer of doing something, that veneer is very thin.

The RIPE NCC already has a mechanism for information consistency audits,
namely the Assisted Registry Check.

Has anyone talked to the RIPE NCC about including abuse contacts in the
ARC, and been given credible reasons as to why this wouldn't be a
simpler, better and more effective way of dealing with issue of stale /
inaccurate details?
