I have never seen an email asking me to confirm that I still do the stuff that is listed in my local RIR...

I applaud the motion to make the attribute mandatory; whether it will have much effect in reality I'll wait and see. I realize there are many addresses in the RIPE database and if at all possible - for records without an abuse -email address - I tend to address my report to the admin-c, as I see those people as the most likely to have any influence on getting the 'problem' fixed. > I think in this context 'usable' may have different interpretations. > One of the functions of the RIPE Database is for engineers to be able > to contact each other to resolve network and routing problems.

I merely pointed out that for _my_ purposes, the Abuse Finder is less useful than the IANA files or the RIPE query page. > The Abuse Finder tool returns the email addresses that have been > provided for receiving abuse reports.

Understood and accepted, but I have to and have had to work with what there was available. If the available resources change, with time my approach will change as well. > > Over the next few months, as the abuse-c: data is entered into the > database, the Abuse Finder tool will return more positive results. > This will be the quickest and most reliable way to find abuse contacts > for any resource.
