<br>
Thank you for taking time to look around into AIRRS.<br>
<br>
Yes we are aware of "Abuse Contact Finder" widget not currently<br>
providing any information.<br>
The reason is that currently at AFRINIC, not all INRs contain an<br>
abuse-contact information. The current MNT-IRT object is optional in<br>
our WHOIS - as per [1].<br>
<br>
$ whois -<a href="http://hwhois.afrinic.net" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">hwhois.afrinic.net</a> -t inetnum<br>
% This is the AfriNIC Whois server.<br>
<br>
inetnum: [mandatory] [single] [primary/lookup key]<br>
netname: [mandatory] [single] [lookup key]<br>
...<br>
mnt-irt: [optional] [multiple] [inverse key] <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<br>
....<br>
parent: [generated] [multiple] [ ]<br>
<br>
It is actually easy for us to disable this widget, but this could<br>
change in the future with [2].<br>
<br>
imho, it would be interesting to bring back [1] on the table (DBWG)<br>
and see if the MNT-IRT object could be set to mandatory on the INRs.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Amreesh<br>

AIRRS is powered by the RIPE Stat API and therefore benefits from the same sources of information.<br>

AIRRS مدعوم من RIPE Stat API وبالتالي يستفيد من نفس مصادر المعلومات.<br>
