<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi all,</div><div><br></div>How can AFRINIC force any member to reply to the « abuse » if AFRINIC cannot determine what is considered an abuse and what is not? Especially that the definition of a criminal/legal activity differs from one jurisdiction to another… It is up to the member to define what they think is acceptable in their network<br>operation and how they choose to react to it, so I’m not sure I get what value this policy adds exactly.<br><div><br></div><div>Greetings!</div><div>R.T.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jan 7, 2022 at 10:21 PM Mathanya Ramaboea <<a href="mailto:mathanyawork@gmail.com">mathanyawork@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Dear PDWG,</div><div><br></div><div>This proposal needs to go back to discussion for the next PPM since the concerns are still the same and remain unsolved. </div><div><br></div><div>Afrinic shouldn’t be the one deciding how network holders manage their abuse mailbox.

<br>
Handling the issue of abuse has been an ISSUE itself that the AFRINIC organization has found difficult to solve since the start. <br>
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.<br>
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. <br>

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.<br>
