[anti-abuse-wg] 2019-04 Review Phase (Validation of "abuse-mailbox")

Hello Nick,

The financial cost approximation of a proposal is not part of the Impact Analysis and the Policy Development Process, so we have not made a calculation. As too many factors have to be taken into account that we can't estimate realistically at this stage of the PDP.

I would like to clarify a couple of details that whilst re-editing the Impact Analysis seem to have become less clear. I am sorry about it:

 - We estimate 10 times the amount of workload that is currently spent on abuse-c validation, not 10 times the amount of workload of the whole Registration Services Department.

 -  It is not that the RIPE NCC is deciding not to enforce parts of the policy, it is our understanding that this is not required. It is the RIPE NCC’s understanding that the proposal does not require the validation process to check for violations such as ““abuse-mailbox:” attributes” which force the sender to use a form.

Kind regards,
--
Petrit Hasani
Policy Officer
RIPE NCC
