[rpd] Abuse Contact proposal from Jordi

[Owen DeLong]

While I think it is ideal, and nice to have, I don’t see that there is enough benefit to the change in the AfriNIC case to warrant the effort required.

This way we don't break anything, doesn't cost "anything extra", but at some point, the old contacts "pointers" can be deleted if deemed necessary. I think it is an implementation detail (deleting them or not and when).

This includes a number of things, including payment of fees and adherence to policies. If a member is not in compliance with the policy, I have no problem with their ability to vote being impacted by that along with their other facilities on my afrinic.
