From my side a full support for the proposal. Without any obligations the proposal may never work as foreseen.
And I would like to stress that Jerry Upton wrote on behalf of M3AAWG and in function as director, so representing the M3AAWG members. Looking at who those members are, I venture to see this as a very large support on behalf of the proposal.

> RIPE Proposal 2011-06 (Abuse Contact Management in the RIPE NCC
> Database) has reached the end of its extended Review Phase and a
> decision must now be made regarding the next steps. I (Tobias, as the
> main proposer, has, as agreed & discussed stepped back from his co-chair
> duties on this one) have gone through the various mails and discussions
> from the the review phase, a short summary of which is below.
>
> I feel that the main thrust of the discussion on 2011-06 gave support to
> the proposal.
>
> The initial discussion phase lead to a redrafting of the proposal and
> some questions over the mandatory nature of the attribute and the future
> of the IRTs. It was also clarified that while there may be further
> output from the ACM-TF and/or further proposals in this space, 2011-06
> was considered to be standalone.
>
> The second version was published on 16th April 2012, addressing, I
> believe, a number of points raised during the initial discussion phase.
> Some objections remained, such as opinions on the mandatory nature of
> the object and the lack of a wider plan.
>
> In May 2012 it was decided to go ahead and move the proposal to Review
> Phase, during which the RIPE NCC presented their impact analysis. This
> gave rise to discussion regarding the future of the IRT object. I
> believe that it has been clarified that while the NCC will put plans in
> place to deal with the decommissioning of the IRT object, they will, of
> course, only do so if the community proposes this. They have
> acknowledged that 2011-06 does not contain this proposal and so no
> action regarding the IRT object will be taken on foot of this proposal.
> I believe that the wider IRT community are happy with this.
>
> There was relatively little discussion during Review Phase, so it was
> extended for a further four weeks. During this time a number of
> objections were restated (mandatory nature and data protection issues)
> and discussed and a few new expressions of support were made.
>
> Overall it appears that there are three sustained objections to the
> proposal and twelve clear expressions of support. The opinion of some
> members of the list (who have commented) is unclear, however I feel
> there is sufficient consensus to move this proposal to Last Call.
>
> Emilio will made the formal announcement from the RIPE NCC PDO.
