I'm just going to go "+1" on that as I couldn't have said it any better.

The requirement for role: objects is also annoying if all there is is just a single person - so admin-c:, tech-c: point to "the person that is responsible for everything", while abuse-c: needs a new object.
Please learn from past mistakes.
Yes, please *do so*. Do not design something that is going to win a price at a computer scientist conference - design something that is easy to work with.
I think you have made that comment as many times as I have suggested a review of the data model. If we had followed through with the other changes I proposed at the time it would have been much easier to work with. But trying to get any major improvements to this massively over complicated database on these mailing lists is as hopeless as asking Bush, Blair and Putin to make the world a better place. The same small group of people who dominate these mailing lists are not interested in making the database easy to use for new (and old) members. Why should you, many of you have been using it for 10+ years and know how it works. If you saw the way new members struggle to understand just the basics of using this database on a training course you would realise how crazy it is not to modernise it. And that is just the data input. Understanding the algebra that comes out of it is another can of worms. This data model and the issues of raw data vs information seriously needs a revolution.... ...and yes I know changing the data model does not stop people from entering emails as devnull but trust and responsibility is a separate thread from easy usage. Anyway, that is my rant for the night :) cheers denis
The current abuse-c: design is annoying, because it requires extra work to get to the point of documenting what you want to document. So people (remember: we want *people* to use that, and put useful information in there) are annoyed, and stop bothering.
I'm a bit more verbose about this, but if you ever wondered *why* abuse-c: isn't the huge success people expected: this is part of the "why". It is way too annoying to use.

Maybe some extended outreach activity could be started to actually ensure that some human is alive at ERX holders that the NCC had no contact anymore since <x> years - but friendly, not pushy. They have been here first, we have no authority over them.
2007-01?
One of the early version of 2007-01 indeed covered legacy resource holders, and was killed in WG chairs last call - for precisely that reason. The final proposal that was accepted only covered resources given out by the RIPE NCC.
Precisely my point.
