Dear colleagues, Policy proposal 2017-02, "Regular abuse-c Validation", is now in Concluding Phase. The goal of this proposal is to give the RIPE NCC a mandate to regularly validate "abuse-mailbox:" information and to follow up in cases where the attribute is deemed to be incorrect. The WG Chairs have declared that rough consensus has been reached and the proposal will now move to Last Call. As per the RIPE Policy Development Process (PDP), the purpose of this four week Concluding Phase is to give an opportunity to present well-justified objections for those who missed the previous two phases and wish to oppose the proposal. Any objection must be made by 25 May 2018 and must be supported by an explanation. If no substantive objections are raised by the end of Last Call, the proposal will complete the PDP and will be evaluated by the WG Chairs for consensus. You can find the full proposal at: https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2017-02 Please e-mail any final comments about this proposal to <anti-abuse-wg@ripe.net> before 25 May 2018. Regards, Marco Schmidt Policy Officer RIPE NCC
