[rpd] Abuse Contact Policy

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

Exactly!

 

If you handle abuses, you don’t get filtered and you can warn the customers that behave incorrectly, because those customers aren’t good for you. You can apply your AUP to the customers and make sure that they behave. Those are all benefits for the members, all those save you cost.

 

The staff already indicated that this will improve the accuracy of the database, and that’s the main goal of any RIR.

 

Is all savings, not wasted resources.

 

Regards,

Jordi

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

As mentioned in the above points the resources poured into this new version of the policy  would most likely lead to a huge waste of resources, which could and should be used at other policies and parts of the organization

 

Best Regards,

Precious Paul.

Dear all,

 

I have some concerns about the “Abuse Contact Policy”.

First of all, it does not offer a specific and regulated description of the term “abuse”  and this opens the door to potentially bigger problems: a surplus of reports, discrimination/legal issues, and a waste of resources. Around the world, we can perceive what abuse is in very different ways.

 

Afrinic is not entitled to force members to report abuses and most importantly, this proposal does not represent Afrinic’s purpose.

 

I, therefore, oppose this policy.

 

 

Thank you,

 

Lucilla
