Subject: [anti-abuse-wg] 2019-04 Discussion Phase (Validation of "abuse-mailbox")

Dear colleagues,

A new version of RIPE Policy proposal, 2019-04, "Validation of "abuse-mailbox"", is now available for discussion.

This proposal aims to have the RIPE NCC validate "abuse-c:" information more often, and introduces a new validation process that requires input from resource holders.

The proposal has been updated following the last round of discussion and is now at version v2.0. Some of the differences from version v1.0 include:
- Removes ambiguous examples from the policy text
- Defines mandatory elements of the abuse handling procedures
- Removes the prohibtion of automated processing of the abuse reports

You can find the full proposal at:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2019-04

As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of this four-week Discussion Phase is to discuss the proposal and provide feedback to the proposer.

At the end of the Discussion Phase, the proposer, with the agreement of the Anti-Abuse Working Group Chairs, decides how to proceed with the proposal.

We encourage you to review this proposal and send your comments to <anti-abuse-wg@ripe.net> before 30 October 2019.

Kind regards,

Marco Schmidt
Policy Officer
RIPE NCC
