>> I have already noted that I have no objections to a proposal solely to verify abuse mailbox functionality, but that we should be careful adding anything further. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in this:
>> Arguably a proposal to simply require verification of the abuse mailbox does not make the NCC a regulator (and, in fact, I think the NCC already does this with ASNs), but I do not see how this would be an effective measure. 
>> 
>> Making further requirements would make the NCC a regulator, and this may be dangerous precedent. 
>> 
>> Regarding the potential that government regulators will put rules in place if we don't, I don't think this is a big concern here. Many governments already do have those rules and already supervise network operators in their countries. The issue in this specific case is that some countries simply don't care, and do not have laws or regulations around the issue.

>>> The Gmail example still does not address my concern. They say what you can do with Gmail, which is the service. An IP address itself is not an abusable service, the systems addressed by them are. Gmail doesn't tell you what to do on third party services you sign up to with your gmail.com <http://gmail.com/> address. Google is responsible for Gmail. The RIPE NCC is responsible for the IP addresses. The network operator is responsible for the systems.
