TI is an organisation that verifies the information, so that it can be *trusted*. For ordinary users it may be to hard to understand this and how to make sure it all correct. For IRT among eachother it may be important.
But all that going via the TI route gives you is a "mnt-by: TI" entry in your object. There are other non-RIPE ways for teams to infer how much trust they should give to another team, and overloading mnt-by seems undesirable. Some useful changes would be renaming the IRT object to something more general, like Abuse (?) object and for it to be returned by default when querying an IP (or AS). The seperation into an easily maintainable object which includes stuff in addition to email address (like postal address, pgp and phone) are useful enhancements to "trouble:". Cheers John
