Policy Proposal Implemented: 2017-02 "Regular abuse-c Validation"
by Stefania Fokaeos 10 Oct '19

10 Oct '19

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce that we have implemented RIPE policy proposal 2017-02 "Regular abuse-c Validation". This policy gives the RIPE NCC a mandate to regularly validate "abuse-mailbox:" information and to follow up in cases where the attribute is deemed to be incorrect. As part of the implementation, we carried out an initial validation of all "abuse-mailbox:" attributes in the RIPE Database that reference Internet number resources. Of around 77,000 email addresses, ~5,500 were marked as invalid and we followed up to ensure they contained a working email. The archived policy proposal can be found at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2017-02 <https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2017-02> The RIPE Document, "Abuse Contact Management in the RIPE Database" is available at: https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-705 <https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-705> We would like to thank everyone for their support as we performed our validation. The feedback you shared with us on our process and tools was especially helpful. Kind regards, Stefania Fokaeos RIPE NCC Registration Services

by Brian Nisbet 01 Oct '19

01 Oct '19

Colleagues, Just to let you all know, we should have a draft agenda by some point tomorrow. There were a few changes and I didn't want to publish anything not mentioning 2019-03 until the final decision had been made there, because that would have been jumping the gun. Thanks, Brian Co-Chair, RIPE AA-WG Brian Nisbet Service Operations Manager HEAnet CLG, Ireland's National Education and Research Network 1st Floor, 5 George's Dock, IFSC, Dublin D01 X8N7, Ireland +35316609040 brian.nisbet(a)heanet.ie www.heanet.ie Registered in Ireland, No. 275301.

Withdrawal of Policy Proposal 2019-03
by Brian Nisbet 30 Sep '19

30 Sep '19

Colleagues, The Co-Chairs would like to inform you that the proposers of 2019-03, Carlos Friacas and Jordi Palet Martinez have withdrawn the proposal. They felt that they were unable to create a policy text that addressed the concerns of the RIPE NCC Executive Board and part of the Community regarding possible liability risks to the Association. As the policy is withdrawn, this email is not an invitation to discuss this further. We suggest that can be done either in private email or in person, should the proposers welcome that. We would like to thank Carlos and Jordi for all their work on this proposal. We would also like to thank the WG for robust discussion and I would welcome proposals from all on ways to reduce abuse in the RIPE region. A formal notification of the withdrawal will come from the NCC Policy Officer, Marco Schmidt. Thank you, Brian Co-Chair, RIPE AA-WG Brian Nisbet Service Operations Manager HEAnet CLG, Ireland's National Education and Research Network 1st Floor, 5 George's Dock, IFSC, Dublin D01 X8N7, Ireland +35316609040 brian.nisbet(a)heanet.ie www.heanet.ie Registered in Ireland, No. 275301.
