<p>Dear colleagues,
<br>
<br>
A new version of RIPE Policy proposal, 2019-04, "Validation of
"abuse-mailbox"", is now available for discussion.
<br>
<br>
This proposal aims to have the RIPE NCC validate "abuse-c:"
information more often, and introduces a new validation process
that requires input from resource holders.
<br>
<br>
The proposal has been updated following the last round of
discussion and is now at version v2.0. Some of the differences
from version v1.0 include:
<br>
- Removes ambiguous examples from the policy text
<br>
- Defines mandatory elements of the abuse handling procedures
<br>
- Removes the prohibtion of automated processing of the abuse
reports
<br>
<br>
You can find the full proposal at:

<br>
<br>
As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of
this four-week Discussion Phase is to discuss the proposal and
provide feedback to the proposer.
<br>
<br>
At the end of the Discussion Phase, the proposer, with the
agreement of the Anti-Abuse Working Group Chairs, decides how to
proceed with the proposal.
<br>
<br>
We encourage you to review this proposal and send your comments to
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E"

before 30 October 2019.

Kind regards,
