<div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 19.5pt 0cm 0cm;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:rgb(21,21,21)"><font face="arial, sans-serif" style="">Hello Jaco, <br>
<br>
Let me explain again in a simpler form.<br>
<br>
1. I do agree we should have abuse-c in whois. <br>
2. I even agree to make it mandatory .  <br>
<br>
What I do not agree with is to make abuse-c any different from other mandatory
contact.<br>
<br>
Here is policy text for admin-c and tech-c:<br>
<br>
<i style="">7.5.1 Registering contact persons<br>
Administrative and technical contact persons must be registered for each ASN
assigned. The registered administrative contact ('admin-c') is the person
responsible for the ASN and should generally be someone who is physically
located at the site of the AS.<br>
The technical contact ('tech-c') need not be physically located at the site of
the AS but must be a person who is responsible for the day-to-day operation of
that AS.<br>
</i><br>
I suggest this policy should remove the entire 8.X section, and instead, just have
one line at 7.5.1, (adding one sentence below tech-c) <b style="">“The abuse
contact("abuse-c") should be a person who can handle abuse issues on
the network, and it is for  network to
communicate each other on abuse issues.”</b> Just like how we treat other
mandatory contact attribute in the whois, if someone creates an object without
it, the system returns to error, just like admin-c or tech-c.<br>
<br>
And problem solved, what you are concerned with have been addressed at 100%.
And on a side note, if a network is a responsible network, I believe they all
already have an abuse contact there, since it was a function of whois many
versions ago, and for the ones who never care for abuse (mostly large
residential telecoms), I doubt what we do here would matter much in the real
world. </font></span></p><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 19.5pt 0cm 0cm;line-height:normal;vertical-align:baseline"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:rgb(21,21,21)"><font face="arial, sans-serif">Regards,</font></span></p>

    <p>Nobody is asking Afrinic to manage any networks.  We're asking
      them to help those of that want to be good netizens to enable us
      to do that, by ensuring that contact can be made with other
      networks for the purposes of resolving abuse related problems.  My
      experience says that usually these disputes are between customers
      of ISPs but they insist that the ISPs should do something about
      it.  So short of me dropping your entire set of prefixes, I'd
      prefer to be able to make contact with you in order to look for a
      resolution.  Personally, I'm not worried about screaming insults
      and the like, those or nitty gritty issues people should sort out
      themselves, but what happens if a customer of yours is actively
      trying to hack on of mine?  Or the other way around?  Would you
      prefer we all just drop each other's routes and never actually
      resolve anything?<br>

    <p>I am sorry, in my opinion you're out of line here, that is
      bordering on a personal attack on Jordi, we're all trying to make
      this Internet a better place.  As is Jordi.  Whilst I do not agree
      with him on everything, what is it to you have a single email
      address that people can mail you on?  Honestly, nobody said you're
      not allowed to filter spam on that.  Again, you choose what is
      spam and not.  We're asking you to be responsible.  Basically by
      saying you refuse to publish an abuse contact you're effectively
      being an elitist stating that your network is so perfect that
      there is no reason anyone would ever need to contact you in an
      attempt to resolve a (probably) legitimate issue.<br>
    </p>
    <p>My response to that would be:  So why should I route your
      traffic?  Why shouldn't I just outright reject all your prefixes?<br>
    </p>
    <p>By enabling networks to contact each other via an abuse contact
      it enables all of us to communicate better, towards sorting out
      real issues.  If you don't want to be part of the solution, my
      personal opinion is that you should not form part of the internet. 
      My opinion is that by making abuse related contact more reliable
      we're improving the overall networking landscape.  You're still
      welcome to ignore contact you don't consider legitimate.  But know
      that that leaves us few options if you do ignore a legitimate
      issues.<br>
