In case this was not obvious: I oppose this policy proposal.


It will have no positive effect whatsoever but it will create lots 
of extra process and red tape and procedures and false alerts and
escalations due to the way normal ISPs operate, people change, mistakes
happens, ticket systems eat mails with funky URLs, and so on.

Which can, of couse, be handled by even more processes, escalation
stages, etc.

Which then will lead to "those that already *act* on their abuse mail
will be annoyed because it has more extra costs, and those that already
do not care about their abuse mail will honour this policy, and still
*not act*".

No positive effect, but lots of negative side-effects.

Strong opposition.
