Rationale

a. Arguments supporting the proposal

It provides a more efficient way for maintainers to organize their provided information and helps to increase accuracy and efficiency in routing abuse reports to the correct network contact. In addition to that, it helps all kinds of institutions to find the correct abuse contact information more easily.

b. Arguments opposing the proposal

None.

At the same time RIPE is blocking access to abuse contacts claiming they need to protect the data.  What exactly is this working group trying to do?  Is it to make it easier to route complaints or protect the abuse contacts from spammers? 

I would also suggest that links be placed to pending proposals on the group's web page at https://www.ripe.net/ripe/groups/wg/anti-abuse. 

Thank You
