Who? A LIR or an assignee?

Considering the IPv4 space is such a valuable resource now I’d happily argue that if you do a bad job of managing it then maybe you shouldn’t have it


>Making things mandatory with no real enforcing power are just not working.

That’s more of a chicken and egg argument.

The issue that abuse-C resolves is the provision of a consistent and thus parseable contact point for abuse issues.

Of course if there was a way to get abuse contacts to be more responsive then everyone would be happier (or unhappier .. ).

For ops don't care, with or without abuse c, they still don't care.

The issue isn’t that simple. Prior to the introduction of abuse-c people would try to contact whatever contact they could find.
