thanks for designing and sharing this sensible approach.  Please allow a few
questions (maybe for the WG presentation):

o "We will start with a verification tool which checks that there are no
  formatting errors in the email address, verifies DNS entries, looks for
  bogus or honeypot emails ...

  Could you elaborate a bit on the latter two?

o "An initial test with the validation tool suggests that around 20-25% of
  resource holders may need to validate or update their abuse contacts."

  Understanding that the sentence says "initial test", but mentions
  "resource holders", is this 20-25% of the 70.000 addresses?

Thanks,
  Peter
