To expedite the creation of abuse contacts we've just deployed an enhancement to the RIPE Database web interface. 

Whenever you create a new organisation object or you edit an existing one that does not have an abuse contact set, we will display a warning and offer a simple abuse-c creation workflow.

You just hit the bell icon, enter your abuse email address and we will create a role object for you. The resulting nic-handle is automatically filled in the abuse-c attribute of the organisation object:

Hopefully this will encourage users to set an abuse contact. We'll keep track of the usage rate. 

Kind regards,
