Hello, I think you might be misunderstanding how mandatory contact information works. As you can see, the mandatory e-mail field is set to nobody@accelerated.de When abuse-c e-mail will become mandatory, their abuse-c e-mail will continue to be nobody@accelerated.de.

As everybody knows, the proposal "Abuse Contact Management in the RIPE NCC Database" has already been ratified/accepted more than a month ago, but still some RIPE workers seem not to know this fact:
https://www.ripe.net/ripe/policies/proposals/2011-06 Authors: Tobias Knecht, abusix Proposal Version: 3.0 06 June 2012 Accepted: 17 September 2012 Working Group: Anti-Abuse Working Group Proposal type: New Policy term: Indefinite New RIPE Document: ripe-563
Under §1.0 it says "The "abuse-c:" will be mandatory for all aut-nums. Due the hierarchical nature of IP address objects, at least every direct allocated inetnum and inet6num needs to have an "abuse-c:". Inherited objects might have their own "abuse-c:" attribute or they will be covered by the higher level objects. "
Today I got the following reply from RIPE (I removed the name of the sender with XXX, but can give it if required). Why is this person at RIPE still saying this: "At this moment is the 'abuse-c' not yet a mandatory field. There is currently a discussion on our mailing list in order to make this a mandatory field, but this policy proposal is still under discussion."
??? An official from RIPE please explain to the community what this RIPE person means with such a statement...:

Dear madam/sir,
Thank you for your e-mail.
At this moment is the 'abuse-c' not yet a mandatory field. There is currently a discussion on our mailing list in order to make this a mandatory field, but this policy proposal is still under discussion.
