I would never say you didn’t handle abuse reports. The question is whether that applies to each and every member in the ripe region.

Even if a fraction of a percent of members or LIRs are affected by such a policy .. that is like saying there mustn’t be any speed limit because you are a careful and safe driver.

I'd argue the attention budget of the anti-abuse WG is taken hostage by
people bringing the same non-acceptable proposal back again and again...

Let me repeat that we *do* handle our abuse reports, man our abuse mail
address, and *do* like having working abuse contacts in the RIPE DB - it's
just that this proposal at hand will do just plain nothing to improve
the situation, while at the same hand annoying (and putting at potential
risk if something slips) those that already do the right thing.

No positive effect, but measurable drawbacks, so not a good way forward,
no matter how often this is re-started.
