Hi Alessandro, There is already an existing policy that mandates having the abuse mailbox. My proposal doesn't change that. The actual policy and validation system only check that the mail server acks about the mailbox, which in my opinion is not sufficient and the result is precisely what you indicated.
My proposal is trying to improve that, making sure that the mailbox can actually get emails and that the policy clearly indicates that you must act on that. In all the RIRs the policies are mandatory for all the members. If a member is not following a policy, it can be scaled and if this is a repetitive action, measures could be taken. What level of measures? It depends on the community (other policies about lack of compliance), membership agreement, etc. In some regions, if you keep ignoring policies, you can just get your account closed.

Even if consensus is reached within a RIR, you cannot force providers who don't want to care about abuse. From a reporter POV, it is more practical to find that there is no abuse address for a given IP, than finding addresses like nob...@example.com, which automated tools can hardly recognize as discardable. Actually, having no abuse team would be a rather important property to assess.
