Was something like this already discussed on the group ?

Similar things have been discussed many times, but, as yet,
nobody has put together a concrete proposal for submission
to the RIPE PDP.  Ideas discussed anywhere, good or bad,
will never even have a chance of becoming policy unless they
are submitted as same.

Actually there was a policy proposal to (vaguely) "enforce a working
abuse contact for every LIR!".

When trying to actually specify what that is, and how to enforce it, the
discussion went nowhere and the proposer withdrew the proposal.


I would argue that it was not, in that case, a concrete proposal, but
that is semantics rather than anything useful to add!

Frank, it is well worth looking at withdrawn policies like

while thinking about all of this.
