Hi, I obviously don't speak for the incident handling community, but i think this (making it optional) would be a serious step back. The current situation is already very bad when in some cases we know from the start that we are sending (automated) messages/notices to blackholes. To an extreme, there should always be a known contact responsible for any network infrastructure. If this is not the case, what's the purpose of a registry then?

A much simpler approach would be to make abuse-c: an optional attribute (basically, unrolling the "mandatory" part of the policy proposal that introduced it in the first place)
This seems like a simple approach for letting network operators indicate whether or not they will act on abuse reports. If there's no way of reporting abuse then the operators clearly has no processes for evaluating reports, or acting on them. This helps everyone save time.
