Florian,
If your statement--Email contact information is optional, is correct, how do people contact a network regarding the abuse violations that were originated from their IP address?
This has been discussed at length - check the list archives
By calling them? Or, writing a letter using the postal service? This is simply ridiculous.
Again, if your statement--Email contact information is optional, is true, RIPE must be stuck in the past, without realizing the necessity of e-mail contacts.
RIPE knows who its members are and there's plenty of data in the database that is public. I think Florian answered the question that was asked and didn't elaborate any further ..
RIPE must create a revised policy regarding e-mail contact for networks listing within RIPE database to ensure accountability.
RIPE "must" not do anything. RIPE might consider doing a lot of things, but they're not obliged to do anything Mr Michele Neylon Blacknight Solutions ♞ Hosting & Colocation, Brand Protection ICANN Accredited Registrar http://www.blacknight.com/ http://blog.blacknight.com/ http://blacknight.biz http://mneylon.tel Intl. +353 (0) 59 9183072 US: 213-233-1612 Locall: 1850 929 929 Facebook: http://fb.me/blacknight Twitter: http://twitter.com/mneylon ------------------------------- Blacknight Internet Solutions Ltd, Unit 12A,Barrowside Business Park,Sleaty Road,Graiguecullen,Carlow,Ireland Company No.: 370845
