Hi!
We envisage a comment period of about four weeks, after which we will commence production of the draft Activity Plan and Budget documents that we will publish in good time prior to the RIPE NCC General Meeting in September
3) Improving Data Integrity
In 2005 the RIPE NCC will focus efforts on improving the accuracy, integrity and consistency of data related to Internet number resources. Mechanisms will be established to ensure higher quality data in the long term, decreasing discrepancies and incorrect contact details and thus increasing the speed at which requests and disputes can be resolved. The improved integrity of data will benefit the Internet community by increasing the reliability of using registration data in the daily operations of LIRs and ISPs.
Will this include some method to cleanup/identify abuse contacts for spam, attack mitigation etc ? What about some abuse-c tag for the database ?
7) Deployment of Anti-SPAM Measures and SPAM Abuse Policies
The RIPE NCC will deploy technical facilities to minimise the effect of SPAM and SPAM abuse towards the RIPE NCC and the mailing lists it provides for members and the RIPE community.
The abuse-c database work might as well be done under this heading, or it might be under its own heading, but as far as I understand, it's not listed anywhere here ? If RIPE has for some reason choosen to abstain from abuse coordination issues, can you point me into some direction which *does* correlate IP to contact information, hopefully under a global scale ? Which is the reason for RIPE to keep away from this ? -- MfG/Best regards, Kurt Jaeger 16 years to go !
