Abuse has nothing to do with Address Policy.
If the abuse contact provided by the whois database is wrong then it is an address policy issue since the contact information was wrong when assigning an IP range.
Then it could only be that the address is outdated. Nothing much *this* working group can do about. For outdated addresses etc in the RIPE database, you could possibly contact hostmaster@ripe.net, but they won't be able to do much about that either.
If you don't get a response from the ISP in question, then I suggest you contact the upstream.
Who is upstream ?
If you do not know how to figure that out or even what that is, then I suggest you first take an educational course on how the Internet really works.
In most of these kind of cases though you won't be able to resolve those questions and you are just wasting a lot of your time, as such choose the easy way: just block them.
I don't agree. If the admin cut the network access of the spammer he/she won't continue to send Spam.
The upstreams can (possibly) do that even if you can't reach them anymore as they provide the connectivity to them, and most very likely have a paying relationship and thus hopefully correct contacts. Greets, Jeroen
