If it takes more than a week to verify your entire database, there is the first sign that something is wrong with your system.

Hello Ronald,

We are planning to publish an updated timeline soon.

Ultimately, our implementation will depend of the level of cooperation
we get from LIRs and the nature of issues that need to be fixed before
an abuse contact can be updated (for example, some organisations may
need to reset their maintainer password).

Over the next few weeks we will be analysing our progress, to make a
realistic estimation. From observations so far, we think we might be
able to finish our initial validation of all abuse contacts within six
months - but it is still too early to make any strong predictions.

Kind regards,
Marco Schmidt
