Dear Gunther, Thanks for your suggestion. Prior to sending this document around, we discussed this with Tobias Knecht and agreed not to include abusix at this stage since it it mainly an interface to existing data sets and not a separate data set on its own. As a next step we would like to work with the other RIRs to see if they're implementing similar concepts (such as abuse-c) and how we can possibly include that in the next version of the document. At that stage, it might make sense to also link to the abusix interface. And we'll review the geolocation section, based on the comments sent to the list. If you have any other suggestions or comments, please let us know. Kind regards, Mirjam On 25/11/15 14:31, Gunther Nitzsche wrote:

Hi,
Thank you all for your feedback on the list and also in person during the RIPE Meeting. We will see how we can best incorporate your comments and will send a new version of the document to the list shortly.
Kind regards, Mirjam
Thanks for the document, seems to be helpful!
One point: I miss the public available ABUSIX database, which is very complete and accurate. (still some addresses missing, especially for AFRINIC, but hey..)
https://abusix.com/contactdb.html
Since they do actively sending out millions of complaints every day, they should know where to send them to.
This is at least my preferred source for finding an abuse contact.
I wonder why this DB is not included in the document, especially since Tobias Knecht, former co-head of this working group, is the founder of Abusix..
The part for geolocation is indeed not necessary or helpful imho.
best greetings,
Gunther
