Maybe, but I don't see what the downside is in using a mechanism which is there, instead of inventing something new. Actually it was - maybe - blue-eyed to invent a new object type. Inventing a new attribute _without a proper syntax and semantic to go with it_ is probably not too much better... >Some useful changes would be renaming the IRT object to something more >general, like Abuse (?) object If we can reach consensus that this should be the name I expect the NCC to make the necessary modifications to the implementation. The problem (which was discussed in various environments more than once!) is that different entities have a different interpretation of the word "abuse". >and for it to be returned by default when querying an IP (or AS). I keep hearing that again and again (and from the incident/abuse point of view I agree!), so I'll put it onto the DB-WG. Maybe others can try to put it onto other WGs' agendas, as this is a pretty big change to the behaviour of the whois server. >The seperation into an easily maintainable object which includes stuff >in addition to email address (like postal address, pgp and phone) are >useful enhancements to "trouble:". > >Cheers >John Wilfried.
