[db-wg] [anti-abuse-wg] objection to RIPE policy proposal 2016-01

Hi Gert

I published some ideas almost 2 years ago on how we could improve abuse-c
https://labs.ripe.net/Members/denis/suggestions-for-improving-abuse-handling

I am not saying these are a perfect solution either, but no one was 
interested in discussing ways forward...

...dare I also say this clumsiness is partly due to the data model 
'design'....which no one wants to discuss either.

cheers
denis
