<p>Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
Policy proposal 2017-02, "Regular abuse-c Validation" is now in
the Review Phase.<br>
<br>
The goal of this proposal is to give the RIPE NCC a mandate to
regularly validate "abuse-c:" information and to follow up in
cases where the attribute is deemed to be incorrect.<br>
<br>
This 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>
- A focus on validating the "abuse-mailbox:" attribute and fixing
incorrect contact information<br>
- Added references to RIPE Policies and RIPE NCC procedures<br>
<br>
The RIPE NCC has prepared an impact analysis on this latest
proposal version to support the community’s discussion. You can
find the full proposal and impact analysis at:<br>

<br>
As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of
this four-week Review Phase is to continue discussing the
proposal, taking the impact analysis into consideration, and to
review the full draft policy document.<br>
<br>
At the end of the Review Phase, the WG Chairs will determine
whether the WG has reached rough consensus. It is therefore
important to provide your opinion, even if it is simply a
restatement of your input from the previous phase.<br>
<br>
We encourage you to read the proposal, impact analysis and draft
document, and share your comments on <a

Kind regards,<br>
