Again you are right. The abuse contact is not special. It only seems special because we have applied the principles of the database model to it. These principles are sadly missing from so many other areas of the data.
Although it has been forgotten after 10+ years the basic database model is - an organisation is the core of your data. That organisation has human resources and Internet resources. The human resources are grouped into roles and these roles manage the Internet resources. That is it in a nutshell. It sounds simple, but so many layers have been built on and around these principles, that the original principles have been partially lost.
That core organisation is anyone/thing that manages (some aspect of) an Internet resource. If it is an outsourced 24/7 team, an abuse handler or an End User doing their own routing. There should be an ORGANISATION object to identify them. Everything else hangs off that object.
So, do we have to start thinking about making admin-c/tech-c of INET(6)NUM (and others) optional and then deprecated at some point in time? Do we have to start thinking about moving whole contact details to the ORGANISATION objects? Piotr -- gucio -> Piotr Strzyżewski E-mail: Piotr.Strzyzewski@polsl.pl
