Hallo everybody,
first of all thanks to all the people that have joined the discussion of
this proposal.
There were loads of good ideas and I have learned a lot about different
things.
I'm sorry that I have to say, that I made a mistake. I didn't know about
the IRT-Object in the APNIC database. I knew about APNIC using the same
DB as RIPE, but I thought the IRT was not implemented in the APNIC
database. (Thanks to Terry Manderson)
With this knowledge my proposal would have been different. But it is not
to late to change the actual proposal. But I want to summarize the
discussed things and ask for your opinion and than change the proposal.
Makes more sense and saves time.
The ideas that will follow are very similar to them we are working on
for RIPE at the moment.
(1) Make the IRT-Object mandatory.
(2) Make the abuse-mailbox field within the IRT-Object mandatory.
The reason is: e-mail field is the contact address for humans and the
abuse-mailbox field is the contact address for reports.
(3) Request frequent updates of the IRT-Object (or more) and "force"
owners to publish correct data (check email addresses, ...).
(4) Make abuse-mailbox fields unavailable in every other role or person
object. Because it's not needed anymore.
(5) Make trouble fields unavailable. Because it's not needed anymore.
How about this quit different version? And sorry again for not knowing
about the IRT Object.
Thanks,
Tobias
