This is not how RIPE policy making works - and you know that, so please don't play the bitter old man... Wilfried has voiced some concerns that people should think about, before putting yet another potentially unused thing into the database that the community and NCC gets to maintain for the next century. While we, in our team, also use IM (IRC) fairly extensively, personally I would *not* want to publish this "globally", as I have some worries about the contacts being misused for IM SPAM. (Which is why Wilfried was asking you whether you have anti-spam measures, and which, but that question seems to have been misunderstood). Max: this topic is controversial (obviously :) ), so the normal approach is to bring it to discussion on this list (which you did) or on the RIPE meeting (easier to get feedback quickly), and if you think "enough people like it", formulate a more formal proposal how this could look like and give it to the DB WG for discussion + decision...
