I'm sorry, I don't understand. What does who installed a network have to do
with this?

You get in touch with an abuse contact, which is supposed to be whoever is
responsible for handling abuse complaints for a network address.

If a contractor's email address is somehow in there, then the contractor
should know that their email address is listed as abuse contact, and when
someone gets in touch about abusive content/behaviour hosted at A.B.C.D,
either do something about it, or forward to the correct contact point.

The same goes for any other scenario.

This is putting the cart before the horse. The proposal should argue why
this is a positive.
