As far as I know, from APNIC and RIPE, there is no query limit for
irt-objects and definitively no query limits for abuse-mailbox
attributes within irt objects. The reason is, that irt object has
nothing to to with an personal object.

I was proposing a solution that is implemented fast and does no take
month or years, because that is something that is absolutely not the
right way for nobody.

I was proposing the draft this way, because me and lots of other people
think this might the right way. So why should this not be the right way
for Africa?

So please tell what exactly feels wrong with the irt object for you.


Thanks,

Tobias
