Gilles, Thanks for the contribution, but I would like to remind you and the community that abuse-c is a reality, that policy reached consensus some time ago! Can we please frame the discussion on this policy in that context, rather than referring to points outside of that scope?

Hi,
While I do agree with the rationale in "It will benefit the entire Internet community to have better quality abuse contact data", I don't believe that the policy text provides any help towards that goal, quite the contrary.
Specifically: forcing people to add an abuse-c as a matter of ticking a checkbox leads to not-working or ignored abuse email boxes. And I rather have no abuse-c than an ignored one - it is a clear signal and leads to much better use of a reporters time.
Make sure that people need to make an informed choice by not providing an abuse-c, but dot not force.
So I keep opposing the policy.
best, Gilles Massen
