Dear colleagues, Policy proposal 2019-04, "Validation of "abuse-mailbox"", is now in the Review Phase. This proposal aims to have the RIPE NCC validate "abuse-c:” information more often and introduces a new validation process. The RIPE NCC has prepared an impact analysis to support the community’s discussion. You can find the proposal and impact analysis at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2019-04 https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2019-04#impact-analysis And the draft documents at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2019-04/draft As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of this four week Review Phase is to continue discussion of the proposal, taking the impact analysis into consideration, and to review the full draft RIPE Policy Document. At the end of the Review Phase, the working group chairs will determine whether the WG has reached rough consensus. It is therefore important to provide your opinion, even if it is simply a restatement of your input from the previous phase. We encourage you to read the proposal, impact analysis and draft document and send any comments to <anti-abuse-wg@ripe.net> before 18 August 2020. Kind regards, -- Petrit Hasani Policy Officer RIPE NCC
