Please!

The need to add extra org objects just to delegate abuse handling to
other teams for specific networks has annoyed me from day one of abuse-c:,
to the extent that I've just not done so.

To repeat that: the current approach is so annoying that people that
are *willing* to provide better abuse contact data shy away from doing so,
because "why bother".

As co author of the current abuse-c I have been saying for years that I agree with you. There are problems that were not foreseen with the original design. Adding abuse-c to the resource objects is one way to fix it, but there are also other (better/worse) options. These have been discussed several times but no one ever agrees or makes a decision. It is like the out of region ROUTE objects. We keep having the same discussion, consider the same options and never make a decision.

Maybe it is a task for the new chairs of the DB WG to bring some of these issues to a conclusion.

cheers
