Hi all,
At the start of the proposal it mentions "it is not clear in which of these role objects it should be preferred.", but it's not clear to me at by the end of the document why I should prefer an abuse-c attribute to an irt object.
The IRT Object was degraded in the last few years. For example the creation process was made pretty simple to allow more people to use it as a abuse-c. The idea would be to go back to the original intent of an IRT Object. So if you are running a cert I would suggest using the IRT, if you are running an abuse department I would suggest using the abuse-c and if you are running both, like many huge ISPs already do, I would suggest to use both.
Also: "there will be some automated clean up of users data to reorganize abuse contact references where possible." Is that expanded on anywhere?
The clean up will be pretty tricky. We can not clean up remark fields with abuse contact data. But we could for example ask members if the remark fields are still required, if the remark field contains something with "abuse" as soon as they make changes. We would like to clean up as much as possible in an automatic way, but if that is not possible it has to bee looked at in a specific way. Thanks, Tobias -- abusix
