Unfortunately, there are still lots of CIDRs for which the RIPE DB does not return a dedicated abuse contact. In some cases, you can find an appropriate contact in the "remarks" or other records - which is difficult to parse automatically. In other cases there is no contact information at all.
And this is mostly the case of legacy resources. Hope we will deal with that.
Section 6.6.1 of this document says that "it [is] mandatory for every resource object (inetnum, inet6num and aut-num) to have a dedicated abuse contact."
<nitpicking> ripe-563 states that "every direct allocated inetnum and inet6num needs to have an ???abuse-c:???", which is different from "every" as is the quote above. </nitpicking>
I'm not sure what you are trying to say. RIPE-563 also states the same about aut-nums. And I'm pretty much sure that word "every" used in section 6.6.1 of the document mentioned above is used properly due to the hierarchical nature of IP address objects.
In fact, afaik you cannot add an abuse-c record to an inetnum object at all,
Not directly, but indirectly through organisation objects it is possible for any single inetnum object.
can you? abuse-c records are usually added to higher level objects like LIR ORG and then inherited by the lower level inetnum objects. If you want to set a dedicated abuse-contact for an inetnum, you need to add a reference to an ORG object with the corresponding abuse-c record.

This works the same way for allocations and assignments (and legacy as well). Piotr -- gucio -> Piotr Strzyżewski E-mail: Piotr.Strzyzewski@polsl.pl
