    <p>Hi,</p>
    <p>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.</p>
    <p>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.<br>
      <br>
      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.</p>
    <p>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.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Kind Regards,<br>
      Jaco<br>

                  <div>Dear all,</div>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  <div>I have some concerns about the “Abuse Contact
                    Policy”.</div>
                  <div>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.</div>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  <div>Afrinic is not entitled to force members to
                    report abuses and most importantly, this proposal
                    does not represent Afrinic’s purpose.</div>
                  <div><br>
                  </div>
                  <div>I, therefore, oppose this policy.</div>
                  <div><br>

                  <div>Thank you,</div>
