Policy </b>did not reach consensus and was sent back to the list for further
discussion, I want to invite the community to actively engage in constructive
discussions around this policy and stand with what is right.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-IN" style="color:black">First, </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color:black">AFRINIC clearly needs to
implement a new method to detect non-specific objects, for the purpose of
decreasing the amount of received abuse emails. Second, this policy allows the
community to reach the right person and solve the problem in an easy and rapid
way. Also, from the staff’s perspective, this new addition can lessen the
workload and ensure an effective task division, so that every appointed contact
can provide the best assistance to the community. It follows that, AFRINIC will
be able to better monitor the accuracy of any created object, and more
prominently, all members will have to incorporate a mandatory contact attribute
to any object, which will save a lot of time for members to report/submit a
complaint in case of an abuse, violation, or any related matter.</span></p>

version of Jordi’s abuse-c policy, so it deserves to be discussed and
eventually implemented. The main goal here is to provide as many channels as
possible available for the community to resolve their issues in the most
efficient/up to date way, which goes exactly with AFRINIC’s values and
principles. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><font color="#000000">Warmly.</font></p></div>
