I support this plan
It makes a lot of sense on two fronts: 1 - making sure there are abuse-c contacts for all resources 2 - making sure that it’s the correct / appropriate contact
To expedite the creation of abuse contacts we've just deployed an enhancement to the RIPE Database web interface.
Whenever you create a new organisation object or you edit an existing one that does not have an abuse contact set, we will display a warning and offer a simple abuse-c creation workflow.
An "abuse-c:" attribute is only required in an ORGANISATION object if it is referenced by a resource object. So the wording in this revised web interface may be a bit confusing to users. It would be better if you do a check on the specified ORGANISATION object and only display this warning if this object should have an "abuse-c:" reference. cheers denis
You just hit the bell icon, enter your abuse email address and we will create a role object for you. The resulting nic-handle is automatically filled in the abuse-c attribute of the organisation object:

Hopefully this will encourage users to set an abuse contact. We'll keep track of the usage rate.
