it is most definitely not "detailed validation procedure" to simply say: send an alphanumeric key to be entered on website after solving a capcha this entire issue makes abuse-c special, much more special than admin/tech etc. MANY auto respond, ignore, save money, avoid, etc their abuse-c - in fact there is also a lot of fake, non functional and dev/null abuse-c records. we would not be having this discussion or any need for all this if this was not an Internet abuse issue or an issue at all. yet, here we are. even if it is not specified/accepted in v2 RIPE NCC may well consider that it is the best "technical and financial" benefit to design the abuse-c validation in this manner - as it is ethical, mostly automated and does solve two extremely important issues unique to abuse-c > 3) Not explicitly stated in the proposal. > The proposal and the IA assume that the abuse-c: is an email > address (and the object, iirc explicitly asks for one).

Please help me understand what you are saying? if you regard email as a legacy technology, which direct communication standard has overtaken it? afaik the death of email has been 'marketed' for the past 30 years. but it is FUD as there is simply no other general communication standard that replaces it (and there has never been) Kind Regards Andre
