Hello, This is a very interesting document, and a very nice thing to have (although it is unclear to me if the information in it is not too volatile for a BCP). This said, and I apologize for not having spotted this earlier, there are a few points that provoke some unease: - under point 4 it says implicitly that name-based whois is quicker outdated than number-based whois. Is there any hard data to back that statement up? - similarly: 6.6.8: The data gets continuously updated. With all the respect I have for the RIPE NCC (and that is a lot), unless some magic is involved this is a very optimistic statement. - finally 6.6.1, about the IRT object: I cannot argue about actual deployment, but the statement "The chances are high that this object will be dismissed and its functionality replaced by another object type." should not be in a BCP since it assumes the result of a future policy action (self-fulfilling prophecy?). And for the time being its functionality is largely superior to the abuse-c. I would not like to prevent publication by my comments, but please consider them as input to the discussion, if any. best, Gilles On 16/11/2015 17:33 , Brian Nisbet wrote:
Colleagues,
Mirjam Kuehne, L. Aaron Kaplan and Christian Teuschel have been doing a lot of work on a document on "Sources of Abuse Contact Info For Abuse Handlers". Versions of this document have been sent to the WG over the past year.
There has been a lot of input from a lot of people and organisations and we'd like to thank them all.
At this point it is our intend to publish this as a BCP RIPE Document from the AA-WG.
At this point we would like to invite any final comments from the WG (a last call of sorts) before it is published. Ideally these comments would be great before the WG Session at 11:00 EET on Thursday 19th November, but definitely before the end of this week.
Thanks again to all involved.
Brian Co-Chair, RIPE Anti-Abuse WG
