Dear working group,

We have a proposed timeline for the implementation. Let me quote the proposal sent out on 28 June here, and comment in-line:


> 3) Clean up of “abuse-mailbox:” on PERSON (89k cases), MNTNER (2500 cases) and IRT (238 cases)
>
> In these cases we propose to send a warning email to the holders of these objects with the following main message:
>
> “The “abuse-mailbox:” is deprecated on these object and will be removed in 4 weeks, if you want to set up abuse contact information on your resource objects you can do so by having a default “abuse-c:” on your ORGANISATION referenced by your resource objects, or possibly overriding that default with a specific “abuse-c:” reference on applicable resource objects."
>
> And then 4 weeks later we will preform the clean-up and refer back to this communication.

On further reflection we would prefer to alter the plan, and just a single clean-up of these objects on Monday 30 October as well. This way the clean-up process will be consistent across all object types. Furthermore, there is no action to be taken on these objects and “abuse-mailbox:” on these objects is ignored in the Abuse Finder. In short there does not seem to be a strong motivation for bothering the holders of these objects twice.
