Sorry William, I don't follow your logic. The RPD list is EXACTLY where
this proposal ought to be discussed. However, it only affects those that
have AFRINIC Numbering resources - as it is those records of "ownership"
that are affected by this Policy.
The "abuse" contact is simply an additional label or piece of
information in those records. The primary change is making it Mandatory,
nothing else. It already exists. In my case it would simply state that
if someone has a problem with any of the Numbering Resources that are in
the name of Posix Systems - they should send an email to
"abuse at posix.co.za" - my organisations abuse address. There is no
strange agenda behind this. This should just make life easier for people
to find the right person when there is a problem.
