RIPE's existing policies *should* cover this - but there's a notable lack of a formalzed resolution process on the lines of wdprs for domains.
And it is a problem that has been noted many times by many different people, so abuse@localhost.com is in some way preaching to the choir. That being said, imho the choir needs to get off it's butt and really start taking action on these policies instead of them being just that. Policies without succession. The work is in progress, but progress is, well, s.l.o.w. I've found the RIPE LEA Roundtables are one of the best ways to talk to people directly. Maybe abuse@ could voice his/her concerns there too. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Disclaimer Dit e-mailbericht kan vertrouwelijke informatie bevatten of informatie die is beschermd door een beroepsgeheim.
