I am missing your point here. These might be a lot of garbage data. What is wrong about have ONE consistent way to publish abuse contacts? Don't you find this "A Good Thing"?
And how anybody could stop publishing this kind of info in remark fields?
Yups, +1...we can discard the abuse-mailbox field but not the remarks. That's why I suggested to get the statistics done again. Most likely the majority of the objects are still covered with a remarks line and at least that is better than nothing.
Don't get me wrong. I do not want to delete data before there is a IRT. Since the IRT will be mandatory, RIPE is able to push things faster. Contact people, ask them to update, ...
This will take some time. And there is no reason to say, that we will delete the existing abuse-mailbox attributes not before an IRT is setup. There is no reason not to change "end of 2012" into "end of 2013"
The point is, that this discussion is going on for more than 7 years now and there is still no sufficient solution.
I agree with Tobias point on this. From what I read in the proposal I didn't understand that anything will be deleted, or any current information get lost. It is just a direction, that in the long run will result in publishing abuse contacts in a sigle well defined way.
1) Poor data quality regarding points of contact 2) The fact that there are multiple places people store this info
Having said this, of course the proposal addresses the point no2. For the data quality a first step is the 2010-09 proposal from what I understand. Kostas
