<p>Dear Colleagues</p>
<p>This policy proposal is requesting AFRINIC to implement a
mandatory abuse contact . This abuse contact that the resource
members will provide to AFRINIC will contain a valid abuse email
address. As such it will be publicly available(via whois query) to
anyone(network operator for e.g) wishing to report abuse
originating from the IP resources delegated to that resource
member. <br>
</p>
<p>For example, a person wishing to report an abuse originating
from an IP address in the prefix 196.1.0.0/24 can perform a whois
query , retrieve the abuse email and address their report to
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:abuse@afrinic.net">abuse@afrinic.net</a>. This email address is monitored by an AFRINIC
staff who is responsible to responsible to address such queries.
Please note that this example is the result of the implementation
of Section 8 of the Consolidated Policy Manual . The policy
proposal <a
