I have noticed also that a lot of RIPE IPs also have invalid contact information or no abuse / admin information whatsoever on them which I believe is against your rules / guidelines.
Thank you and thank you for Vesna for recommending this mailing list for me. I just imagine a day we rely on blacklists and rely more on providers fixing the problems themselves, rather than having any incompetent government intervene to cause more problems to "fix the problem"
You're not the only person to have noticed and raised this. There is currently a Task Force examining abuse contact information (due to report on current progress on Tuesday afternoon) and the NCC will be reporting on their new abuse contact measures during the session as well. Hopefully you'll be able to join us (either physically or via the Internet) on Tuesday and hopefully some, if not all, of your questions will be answered. Thanks, Brian.
