And as a reporter, I prefer a clear "I don't care" over wasting my time on an ignored report.

So advertising the abuse-c actively: yes, sure. Mandatory: no. Thus changing policy in regard to ERX: no (besides, that's poor form, cf Peter Koch's comment).

As a reporter doing manual reporting of occasional phish - great, an optional format is just fine. As a reporter of quite a lot of phish - I think having something that is standardized and machine parseable helps. Those that really don’t want to handle reports for a range might want to populate something standard there too (and yes, this is a semi ironic policy proposal) - devnull@example.com or whatever. —srs
