The RIPE NCC's proposed implementation plan of RIPE policy 563 (policy proposal 2011-06) titled "Abuse Contact Management in the RIPE Database" is as follows:
Requiring that LIRs maintain a new and otherwise totally useless organization object for every customer who need a delegated abuse-c attribute is very inconvenient. At least unless that object can be simplified to contain only the abuse-c attribute and no other data. I believe that the original proposal (abuse-c attributes on hierarchical resources) would be much easier to deploy, even if it initially requires adding the abuse-c attribute to a (usually) small number of top-level inetnum objects. If LIRs with hundreds of directly-assigned resources are concerned about modifying them (are they?), then why not support both schemes? -- ciao, Marco
