Hi Gilles I have just submit a proposal to the DB WG on the cleanup process. There was some discussion a long time ago on converting IRT object into ROLE objects, but that discussion was never brought to any conclusion. I don't propose to include that in this cleanup. cheers Denis Walker Independent Netizen

Hi,

The first two steps are done, but the last one seems to have been
overlooked. The idea of "abuse-c:" was to create one single place/way of
documenting abuse contact details. So far all that has been achieved is
to add a fourth way to document it. All the old ways ("abuse-mailbox:"
in 5 object types, IRT and remarks) are still littered throughout the
database.

I think it is time to schedule that cleanup.

I'd like to have the "cleanup" defined and discussed before doing it.
The 'remarks' are obviously not really useful, and the abuse-c seems to
replace functionally the abuse-mailbox (except that I still miss a 'more
specific' abuse-c). The IRT objects are different though, and have
features that the abuse-c lacks. So unless the abuse-c is able to
replace the IRT, I'd object to deleting those.

(to be specific: I'd hate to lose the signature and encryption fields -
I think it was a mistake not to add those to the abuse-c from the start)

best,
Gilles
