Perhaps something more like a couple of checkboxes on the complaint = form which say:
[ ] I wish this complaint to be public. [ ] I wish my name to be included in the public report.
This way we could have an opt-in public archive of all abuse reports that the RIPE NCC has received.
Even better! Then we also have an input/output view on the RIPE NCC fraud/complaint handling procedure.
Ummmm... no. Apparently there is some confusion here. Let me try to clear that up. As I understand it, RIPE has contractual confidentiality commitments that are of such a nature that RIPE will _never_ say _anything_ about _any_ aspect of its handling of _any_ abuse report. Period full stop. For that reason, you will *not* ``get an input/output view'' on the process. No person outside of RIPE staff will _ever_ see _any_ ``output''. That's the problem. Putting an extra check box on a report form isn't going to change that. I hope that we are clear on this now. Regards, rfg
