[rpd] Abuse Contact Policy

[Jaco Kroon]

Hi,

Having been on the receiving side of identifiable sources of "bad"
traffic, and not being able to locate abuse contacts for the origin
network, I'm in support of this policy.

I would like to find out how this policy can conceivably lead to any
waste of resources?  As I see it you need to make sure your abuse
contact details are published in the whois database.

Hooking this in with the dashboard policy, this is something that can
(and should be) checked automatically, further more, as per ISPA checks
in SA even validating that the emails are being read and responded to by
a human can be automated fairly quickly, and hooked into any dashboard
or automated notification system to ensure that LIRs are aware of
problems before Afrinic needs to get involved.

In the bigger scheme of things, this policy is more likely to save
resources rather than waste them.  If you've ever been on the receiving
end of things you'll know exactly what I mean.

Kind Regards,
Jaco
