Please allow me to provide some clarification. ... The RIPE Policy "RIPE NCC Services to Legacy Internet Resource Holders" states in its scope: "[...] Any existing or future RIPE policy referring to resources shall not apply to legacy resources unless the policy explicitly includes legacy resources in its scope. [...]" https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-639#1-2-scope
The RIPE Policy "Abuse Contact Management in the RIPE Database" does not fulfil this requirement.
It would require a successful policy proposal to change that. In 2016 such proposal was made, but the proposer decided to withdraw the proposal due to the inability to find an acceptable agreement which satisfied all parties.
That's sooooo dumb.
I hope this clarifies.
It does and I thank you for the clarification. Regards, rfg
