Thank you for asking that very valid question! Whether something is Abuse or not abuse and when Internet behavior is abuse or not has everything to do with this WG. And, discussing what constitutes abuse (or not), how (or even if) it affects RIR etc is very relevant as it leads to a clearer understanding of many things. One very basic thing would be resource abuse reporting. How can anyone report abuse if it is not even considered to be abuse? I can go on and on, but that would be counter productive. Why do you not help and tell me what arbitrary number of verify your email address, emails would you consider to be abuse - and in/over which period? That would be super helpful to everyone, as I do not think any of us actually knows what we all consider the arbitrary number to be? Or are you saying it is not abuse at all? Actually, sorry I may not understand why you are asking about relevance? Regards Andre On Wed, 18 Jul 2018 11:03:47 +0000 Michele Neylon - Blacknight <michele@blacknight.com> wrote:
What's any of this got to do with RIPE and this WG? Is there a policy proposal or something else forthcoming?
