Will this include some method to cleanup/identify abuse contacts 
for spam, attack mitigation etc ? What about some abuse-c tag
for the database ?

The abuse-c database work might as well be done under this heading,
or it might be under its own heading, but as far as I understand,
it's not listed anywhere here ?

If RIPE has for some reason choosen to abstain from abuse coordination
issues, can you point me into some direction which *does* correlate
IP to contact information, hopefully under a global scale ?

Which is the reason for RIPE to keep away from this ?
