[rpd] Extension of Last Call - Abuse Contact Policy Update AFPUB-2018-GEN-001-DRAFT07

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ]

Hi Elvis,

I don't think your observation is different that what was objected already. Otherwise, I fail to see your point.

The other 4 RIRs have similar (actually 2 of them the same) policies, and it has demonstrated to be working. Specially where this policy has been implemented (APNIC and LACNIC), the results are just amazing. In very short time (months), since it was implemented, the number of incorrect abuse-mailboxes has dropped below 20%, and the number of unresolved/unresponded abuse cases has dropped very significatively (in my own experience).

So clearly, it works and it can improve AFRINIC database and protection against bad actors. 
 
Regards,
Jordi

    Dear All, 

    Handling the issue of abuse has been an ISSUE itself that the AFRINIC organization has found difficult to solve since the start. 
    Without overstepping or being considered intrusive, they could get members to publish their mailbox instead of consistently adopting and implementing unnecessary. unworthy and wasteful policies.
    On the other hand, there is an alternative, which by simply publishing the mailboxes of their members while being careful and mindful of being regarded as intrusive to members. The General Abuse Contact Policy will present this result and effect. 

    Elvis.

Now that the Appeal Committee has published its report, we wish  to announce that the Last Call period for the proposal Abuse Contact Policy Update AFPUB-2018-GEN-001-DRAFT07 has been extended by four (4) days, and therefore closes on 09th January 2022 at 23:59 UTC.
