A period of 48 hours looks too short to me, I suggest something like within a period of 2 working days (or even more).

I fully agree with this proposal and should be implemented ASAP.

HOWEVER, I’ve a question regarding the impact analysis, and specially this sentence:

“To increase efficiency, this process will use an automated solution that will allow the validation of “abuse-mailbox:” attributes without sending an email. No action will be needed by resource holders that have configured their “abuse-mailbox:” attribute correctly.”

Reading the policy proposal, how the NCC concludes that it should be “without sending an email”?

I will say that the right way to do a validation (at creation/modification and yearly) is, in a way that makes sense (having an email that nobody is processing is exactly the same as not having the abuse attribute at all):
1) Send an email with a link that must be clicked by a human (so some kind of captcha-like mechanism should be followed)
2) If this link is not clicked in a period of 48 hours (not including Saturday-Sunday), an alarm should be generated so the NCC can take the relevant actions and make sure that the mailbox is actively monitored by the LIR

Jordi

Asunto: [policy-announce] 2017-02 Review Phase (Regular abuse-c Validation)

        Dear colleagues,

          Policy proposal 2017-02, "Regular abuse-c Validation" is now in
          the Review Phase.

          The goal of this proposal is to give the RIPE NCC a mandate to
          regularly validate "abuse-c:" information and to follow up in
          cases where the attribute is deemed to be incorrect.

          This proposal has been updated following the last round of
          discussion and is now at version v2.0. Some of the differences
          from version v1.0 include:
          - A focus on validating the "abuse-mailbox:" attribute and fixing
          incorrect contact information
          - Added references to RIPE Policies and RIPE NCC procedures

          The RIPE NCC has prepared an impact analysis on this latest
          proposal version to support the community’s discussion. You can
          find the full proposal and impact analysis at:
          https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2017-02

          And the draft documents at:
          https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2017-02/draft

          As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of
          this four-week Review Phase is to continue discussing the
          proposal, taking the impact analysis into consideration, and to
          review the full draft policy document.

          At the end of the Review Phase, the WG Chairs will determine
          whether the WG has reached rough consensus. It is therefore
          important to provide your opinion, even if it is simply a
          restatement of your input from the previous phase.

          We encourage you to read the proposal, impact analysis and draft

          document, and share your comments on <anti-abuse-wg@ripe.net> <mailto:anti-abuse-wg@ripe.net>
          before 16 February 2018.

          Kind regards,

          Marco Schmidt
          Policy Development Officer
          RIPE NCC
