[anti-abuse-wg] working in new version of 2019-04 (Validation of "abuse-mailbox")

Looks fine to me.

If we really think that the operators should be free from taking abuse reports, then let's make it optional.

As said, I personally think that an operator responsibility is to deal with abuse cases, but happy to follow what we all decide.

    ... but it's actually way too complicated to implement.
    
    A much simpler approach would be to make abuse-c: an optional attribute
    (basically, unrolling the "mandatory" part of the policy proposal that 
    introduced it in the first place)
    
     - If you want to handle abuse reports, put something working in.
    
     - If you do not want to handle abuse reports, don't.
    
    The ARC could be extended with a question "are you aware that you are
    signalling 'we do not not care about abuse coming from our network'?"
    and if this is what LIRs *want* to signal, the message is clear.
    
    The NCC could still verify (as they do today) that an e-mail address,
    *if given*, is not bouncing (or coming back with a human bounce "you have
    reached the wrong person, stop sending me mail" if someone puts in the
    e-mail address of someone else).
    
    MUCH less effort.
