Just a few questions, the only document I can find associated with the anti abuse wg is ripe-409 Good Practice in Minimising E-mail Abuse (Are there any more?). As it was initially crafted when the working groups focus was primarily on anti spam and now that the working group is looking at ways of reducing network abuse would there be any benefit to coming up with a new document which details best practices in reducing abuse and dealing with it?
Also ripe-409 is becoming dated notably in its discussion of which abuse mailbox to use for abuse reports, would it be advisable to update this document to reflect changes.
In short, yes. There would be benefit to updating ripe-409 and there is a plan in place to do so. Sadly the time and people haven't been there to do it. Richard and I are rather hoping that, with some assistance from the WG, we can update the bulk of the document this year, but I'm hoping we'll have more accurate timelines after RIPE 58.
