[anti-abuse-wg] Overview of abuse-c?

Wed Feb 26 22:38:04 CET 2014

Is there a (short) simple overview of what abuse-c contacts are, and why 
they're useful?

I've been in contact with a couple datacenters who respond to my abuse 
reports with "please see this other address, like whois says".  I let 
them know their abuse-c entry points to their email address, and they 
proceed to tell me the exact same thing.

It would be quite handy if there were a page with a short description of 
what it is, and why they should implement it.  So far, the only thing 
I've found is 
https://labs.ripe.net/Members/denis/creating-and-finding-abuse-contacts-in-the-ripe-database 
, which is pretty detailed.
