I think we only get one opportunity to do this right. Doing it without a strategy that's been agreed by the whole community seems quite scary.
Remembering the discussions on various lists and infos I got from the NCC I would summarize the big picture like this (but maybe Tobias or Brian could do this much better): - introduction of the abuse-c - outlining a time schedule when the abuse-c HAS to be there (what would lead to an automatic cleanup of other fields and removal of remarks by the maintainers) - tools could be introduced for an easier migration (e.g. a function in the LIR portal, that could "remove all occurrences of my abuse-mailbox field with the value foo@bar.com with the abuse-c FOO-RIPE", another function could be "show me all my objects that include an email address in the remarks") - integration of the abuse finder tool into whois and other APIs (what would make other places unneeded and unused) - automatic technical validation (syntax, domain checks, MX and A record checks, check of mailserver availability either when the abuse-c is updated or repeating or both) with automatic reminders being sent to the maintainer - repeating validation via feedback links or similar - maybe a kind of automatic deletion of other places or fields Kind regards, Frank
Regards,
Leo
