[db-wg] NWI-7: abuse-c implementation plan modification

Dear WG, Denis,

Thank you. Then we will proceed as proposed and do the clean-ups and notifications in one go on Monday 30 October.

In the meantime, if you still have an opportunity to look at the 1.90 release in the RC environment, please do - and let us know if you find any issues. We plan to deploy this version to production on Monday 16 October.

Thanks

Tim

So if anyone has any strong objections please let us know by the end of this week. Otherwise we can give Tim the go ahead to this modification to the implementation plan.

This way the clean-up process will be consistent across all object types. Furthermore, there is no action to be taken on these objects and “abuse-mailbox:” on these objects is ignored in the Abuse Finder. In short there does not seem to be a strong motivation for bothering the holders of these objects twice.
