I propose a simplified, two-article baseline framework for an Anti-Abuse
Policy under the Policy Development Process (PDP):

• Article 1: For the purposes of RIPE Address Policy, "Network Abuse" is

defined by the technical threat classifications maintained under the
European Union Cybercrime framework (specifically DDoS, malware hosting,
phishing networks and systemic spam botnet distribution).

• Article 2: RIPE address space must not be systematically utilized to

facilitate Network Abuse as defined in Article 1.

As a (metaphorical) piece of string, this is admirably short.

I think just one more article might be needed, referring to
the responsiveness required of the abuse contact.

I hope that no more will be needed.
