Dear all,
My name is Angel F. Pineda and I'm a new AA mailing list member. Although I have been reading the mailing list archive before to send this email, let me apologize because I'm sure the subjects I would like to present to the list has been commented before.
Few days ago I sent a compliant to RIPE NCC because a LIR was not responding to my request about a copyright infringement from one of their assigned IPs, that I was sending to their email abuse contact information from the RIPE database.
The response from RIPE NCC was that the abuse-c information exist, so it is enough from the RIPE's point of view, and it is not RIPE's matter if the LIR wants to answer or not to a request.
If it is right, I would like to know what the aim of the abuse contact information is. Is it merely a formal question?
Regards,
Ángel F. Pineda
P.S: I'm sending this email to this list because the person from RIPE NCC that attended me told me that:
"The great thing about the regional internet registry system is that opinions like yours matter. If you think the RIPE NCC could/should do more as an regional internet registry, please bring this up in one of the RIPE community working groups: http://www.ripe.net/ripe
If your idea receives support, it becomes a policy that the RIPE NCC then implements: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies
We can then take action."
When looking up an IP using a whois client, one gets the new abuse
contact information at the top of the response, such as
% Abuse contact for '193.0.0.0 - 193.0.7.255' is 'abuse(a)ripe.net'
Unfortunately, this is not happening when doing a web lookup
(that is, from https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/query.html ).
Of course one could follow the org link and eventually find it,
but it would probably be better to show it right on the
returned page for the inetnum object, also considering
that generic abuse victims are probably more likely to use the
web interface than the whois interface.
Can this be corrected ?
