That kind of system can be over bgp anycast with multiple worldwide locations and automatic syncing (so DDoS attacks will not affect it), and that kind of system can be (for example) for the whole 5 RIRs.<br>

To my opinion, Ripe should create its own anti-abuse system, each LIR will have login access to it (LIR will be able to choose to receive notifications through sms / email) and to mark each abuse complaint as resolved or not (that system can also have an API
so LIR's will be able to pull their abuse complaints), the main issue is that complaints to that system will not be able to be done automatically or by email - only manually by form filling with captcha. (after the LIR will mark an abuse complain as resolved
- the complainer will receive an email address also to confirm with him if issue is resolved or not, non-detailed statistics will be able to be displayed to the whole community - to see the percentage of how many manual complaints weren't handled by each LIR)<br>

Besides the above, I also believe that we as a community should not accept complainers which are not taking the most basic configuration actions to protect their systems, and would consider these complaints as spam. In order for abuse complaints not to be abused.<br>

<div>Hi All<br>
<br>
I think this is a good policy.<br>
<br>
We can always find use cases where it fails, but it will help in some<br>
cases.<br>
<br>
And if some one is not able to answer an e-mail every six month, there<br>
are probably underlying issues. Also the argument, that the bad guys<br>
flood the mailbox is not really acceptable. It just means you can't<br>
filter spam.<br>
<br>
The proposal does not check how the reports are used. But it helps us to<br>
enumerate organizations, that don't act, coming up with various excuses,<br>
along the lines the best problems are some one else's problems, so let's<br>
make it some on else's problem.<br>
<br>
The fact is: Most mature organizations are perfectly capable of handling<br>
such mail boxes, even if they have a high load.<br>
<br>
Coming from the incident response side, I'm tiered of people constantly<br>
telling me, that issues are not their problem<br>
<br>
Best<br>
Serge<br>
<br>
