Yes. Unless we hear otherwise we will send the emails on 1 February and proceed

Hi Brian

A little late, but I was on holiday :)

I agree my comments are a separate issue and should not delay the 
process of adding any missing abuse-c attributes.


I am about to write a separate email about how to use abuse-c as I think 
we are in danger of losing the plot regarding the original goal of abuse-c.

Dear working groups,

As you know all organisations that have internet number resources
allocated or assigned by the RIPE NCC need to have an abuse-c
attribute according to policy 2011-06. The following implementation
plan was communicated for this policy:

https://labs.ripe.net/Members/kranjbar/implementation-details-of-policy-2011-06




Phase 1 of this plan was completed in December 2013, setting up
abuse-c for then existing LIRs. Phase 2 of this plan was completed for
organisations holding sponsored PI resources in November 2014.
However, since then LIRs and end-users have been responsible for
ensuring that an abuse-c exists for their organisation. In practice it
has proven difficult to enforce this, since abuse-c is not a mandatory
attribute in the RIPE DB schema, and as a result new cases where
organisations do not have an abuse contact have been created.

There is an important change in the implementation we would like to do
– based on our experiences thus far – which would like the community's
mandate on. We propose to use the end-user organisation's email
address instead of the sponsoring LIR email address. We believe there
are valid reasons for this change, but of course if this suggested
change is controversial we would encourage discussing it in the
anti-abuse working group. Ideally, we need to have a decision on this
by early January so that we can prepare the work.


1) Prevent NEW cases

We want to ensure that no new cases will be created as follows:

= Since 1 March, the new member application form already provides much
better integration with the RIPE Database
   - because of this an abuse contact is now created whenever a new
LIR is activated
   - it can be modified the LIR, e.g. using web-updates, but not
removed

= We are currently adapting the new create organisation webupdates
form to include abuse-c by default allowing the user to:
   - reference an existing abuse-c role object, or
   - enter an email address to create an abuse-c role for the
organisation (using the same maintainer)

= We are also adapting the edit organisation webupdates form to always
suggest adding an abuse-c contact if it's not present

= We plan to extend the new request forms:
   - check that an end-user organisation has abuse-c before it can be
used
   - if not, refer to the edit form for the organisation where it will
be easy to add reference an existing abuse contact, or create a new
object

2) Resolve remaining EXISTING cases

Originally the idea for phase 2 was to use the sponsoring LIR's email
address in case the end-user organisation was unresponsive to requests
to set their own abuse contact. However, since then policy 2012-08 has
been implemented and nowadays the sponsoring LIR, and its abuse
contact, can be found through the sponsoring-org attribute.

Also, the RIPE NCC found that using the sponsoring organisation's
email address leads to a number of issues:

- end-users have no incentive to set their own abuse-c, rather then
letting abuse questions go to their sponsor, so the majority remains
unresponsive
- in case an end-user has resources from more than one sponsor it is
ambiguous which sponsor's email should be used
- many LIRs were unpleasantly surprised by finding their email address
in the abuse-c of the organisation they sponsor
-

Tim, 

I support your proposal and applaud the efforts to improve this process and 
improve the overall data within the database. What if anything is being done to 
make sure that valid emails are being entered? I assume we are doing a check to 
make sure the email has an ‘@‘ and maybe even some validation that there’s a . 
and some TLD or ccTLD. But I assume we are not checking through a method like 
double opt-in or other confirmation method to see that the email exists and the 
user creating the entries is able to receive that email. Which seems to be a 
fairly standard method today to valid emails. Has any thought been put into 
this? 

Are we deciding as a community any email is better than no email? I know I 
continue to find records where I reach out to an abuse contact (or other 
contacts) and many of them bounce or are stale. 

Any thoughts on this? 

Thanks,
Billy

Hi,



To expedite the creation of abuse contacts we've just

Whenever you create a new organisation object or you edit
an existing one that does not have an abuse contact set, we
will display a warning and offer a simple abuse-c creation
workflow.


An "abuse-c:" attribute is only required in an ORGANISATION
object if it is referenced by a resource object. So the
wording in this revised web interface may be a bit confusing
to users. It would be better if you do a check on the
specified ORGANISATION object and only display this warning
if this object should have an "abuse-c:" reference.


From what I understood, warning is not an error and doesn't
prevent the creation of the ORGANISATION object.


If you submit the object in the web interface with an empty value
for the abuse-c, it will give you the following error: "Please
provide an Abuse-c or remove the attribute if you would like to
do it later"

So you can explicitly remove the attribute if you want, but we
try to guide people into adding the abuse-c because it's a good
idea to have it in general (even if it's not strictly required),


Sorry but this is just wrong. The whole design of "abuse-c:"
attribute was to use hierarchical inheritance in resource objects.
You only put it where it is needed and it is inherited by any more
specific objects. It should NOT be duplicated where it is not
required. That leads to redundant information being stored in the
database. This copy can be forgotten about when the authoritative
version referenced from a less specific object is changed and leave
invalid data in the database which will override the valid data for
some resources.



We are talking here about adding "abuse-c:" to organisation objects,
not resource objects.

All inet(6)num and aut-num objects allocated or assigned through the
RIPE NCC have an "org:" reference. The referenced organisation must
have an "abuse-c:" attribute by policy 2011-06.

If an LIR creates more specific inet(6)num objects, the default
behaviour is that the "org:" object are blank, and is the abuse-c
'inherited' from the covering object's "org:". But they can
optionally refer to another organisation object. In that case it is
also appropriate to have an explicit "abuse-c" on that organisation.
In rare cases it may be that two different organisations should use
the same abuse contact - this can easily be achieved by referring to
the same role object from both organisation objects' "abuse-c:".

In short the duplication that you refer to is not introduced.


You said it yourself below you cannot know why a user is creating an 
ORGANISATION object. It is quite possible an LIR sub allocates part of 
an allocation to another company but intends to handle all abuse 
complaints themselves for their allocation. If you now create an 
ORGANISATION object for the company holding the sub allocation you tell 
them they should add an "abuse-c:". Now you are assuming they know they 
should use the same ROLE object of the LIR and should not change that 
reference. It is quite likely they will follow your instructions and let 
you create a new ROLE object for them with their email address.


It is far better to encourage users to understand what they are doing 
and why. If your instructions suggested adding an "abuse-c:" IF 
required, or even told them to check if they need one, then someone 
needs to find out if they require it. But to tell them it is missing 
means they will just follow instructions and add one.






and we often find

that organisation objects are created for sponsored PI or ASN
resources without this, and this adds unnecessary overhead to
request handling because then we will need to ask for this then.


If you know this is why you are creating this ORGANISATION object
then it is reasonable to add an "abuse-c:" at this point. But the
wording on your new web form should be clear and suggest adding an
"abuse-c:" only IF it is needed.


We are not creating the object. The user is.


That is why your instructions should be clear.




Moreover, during object creation procedure it is unknown what
for the ORGANISATION object is created.


You should not be creating objects in the database if you don't
know what their immediate use is for. If you do not currently
handle any abuse complaints then you should not include an
"abuse-c:" attribute in a newly created ORGANISATION object. This
is confusing and redundant information and may override the valid
contact data.


Again, we are not creating objects. The user is. We cannot know the

Again, we are not creating objects. The user is. We cannot know the users full 
intent at the time they create an organisation object. The duplication you 
refer to does not exist. And having a dedicated contact method for abuse 
related matters is best practice. The trash icon and error message in case the 
value is left blank is indication enough that this is strictly speaking 
optional.

If you submit the object in the web interface with an empty value for the 
abuse-c, it will give you the following error:
"Please provide an Abuse-c or remove the attribute if you would like to do it 
later"

So you can explicitly remove the attribute if you want, but we try to guide 
people into adding the abuse-c because it's a good idea to have it in general 
(even if it's not strictly required), and we often find that organisation 
objects are created for sponsored PI or ASN resources without this, and this 
adds unnecessary overhead to request handling because then we will need to ask 
for this then.

Indeed, we don't know this at creation time.

Moreover, during object creation procedure it is unknown what for the
ORGANISATION object is created.

It makes a lot of sense on two fronts: 1 - making sure there are
abuse-c contacts for all resources 2 - making sure that it’s the
correct / appropriate contact


To expedite the creation of abuse contacts we've just deployed an
enhancement to the RIPE Database web interface.

Whenever you create a new organisation object or you edit an existing
one that does not have an abuse contact set, we will display a
warning and offer a simple abuse-c creation workflow.


An "abuse-c:" attribute is only required in an ORGANISATION object if it 
is referenced by a resource object. So the wording in this revised web 
interface may be a bit confusing to users. It would be better if you do 
a check on the specified ORGANISATION object and only display this 
warning if this object should have an "abuse-c:" reference.

You just hit the bell icon, enter your abuse email address and we
will create a role object for you. The resulting nic-handle is
automatically filled in the abuse-c attribute of the organisation
object:

Hopefully this will encourage users to set an abuse contact. We'll
keep track of the usage rate.

Kind regards,

Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC

I support Tim's plan.
