Dear Colleagues,

We have now reached the end of the extended period for Phase 1 of the abuse-c project. This means that we will start the process of setting the "abuse-c:" attribute automatically for members where it is missing. For this we will use the publicly listed contact information as described in the implementation plan: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/kranjbar/implementation-details-of-policy-2011-06 Currently, 65.8% of the IPv4 allocations have the "abuse-c:" attribute, and by size the coverage is 74.4%.

We will now move into Phase 2, where we will ask PI and ASN resource holders to provide abuse contact information. We will have a simplified form available as well as improved documentation on how to do the update in the RIPE Database using the standard mechanisms. Current IPv4 PI coverage is 7.7% of all PI assignment, and by size the coverage is 13.8%

Here are the latest stats:

-------- NETWORK NUMBERS:

Total number of IPv4 allocations listed: 21,605
       Number of IPv4 allocations covered with "abuse-c": 14,219 or 65.8% of IPv4 allocations
Total number of IPv4 PI assignments listed: 28,250
       Number of IPv4 PI assignments covered with "abuse-c": 2,170 or 7.7% of IPv4 assignments
Total number of IPv6 allocations listed: 6,474
       Number of IPv6 allocations covered with "abuse-c": 4,282 or 66.1% of IPv6 allocations
Total number of IPv6 assignments: 1,593
       Number of IPv6 assignments covered with "abuse-c": 231 or 14.5% of IPv6 assignments

Total number of objects: 57,922 (IPv4: 49,855 / IPv6: 8,067)
Number of objects covered with "abuse-c": 20,902 or 36.1% (IPv4: 32.9% / IPv6: 55.9%)

-------- IPv4 NETWORK SIZES:

Total size of IPv4 allocations listed: 595,025,920
       Size of IPv4 allocations covered with "abuse-c": 442,600,448 or 74.4%
Total size of IPv4 PI assigned listed: 169,504,824
       Size of IPv4 PI assigned covered with "abuse-c": 23,426,416 or 13.8%

Total size of listed IPv4 addresses: 764,530,744
Size of listed IPv4 addresses covered with "abuse-c": 466,026,864 or 61.0%

In our last update, the coverage of IPv4 allocations, by size, was 56.8%. Today it is 74.4%

-------- LIR NUMBERS:

LIRs with "abuse-c:": 4,243
LIRs without "abuse-c:": 5,541
