The proposal is to send verification emails to abuse mailboxes and have a link 
in them clicked, right? I would have no objection to that.

Is there more that is being proposed in this proposal specifically?

Subject: Re: [anti-abuse-wg] Abuse Report ignored. What to do as next?

I have already noted that I have no objections to a proposal solely to verify 
abuse mailbox functionality, but that we should be careful adding anything 
further. Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in this:
Arguably a proposal to simply require verification of the abuse mailbox does 
not make the NCC a regulator (and, in fact, I think the NCC already does this 
with ASNs), but I do not see how this would be an effective measure.

Making further requirements would make the NCC a regulator, and this may be 
dangerous precedent.

Regarding the potential that government regulators will put rules in place if 
we don't, I don't think this is a big concern here. Many governments already do 
have those rules and already supervise network operators in their countries. 
The issue in this specific case is that some countries simply don't care, and 
do not have laws or regulations around the issue.

Of course, this is not how consensus works.

I also think you're misunderstanding my argument. I'm all for fighting abuse. A 
lot of my work is in abuse and fraud prevention and in the prevention of 
financial crime. I'm not arguing against preventing abuse, only against adding 
even more regulators where they aren't needed.

The Gmail example still does not address my concern. They say what you can do 
with Gmail, which is the service. An IP address itself is not an abusable 
service, the systems addressed by them are. Gmail doesn't tell you what to do 
on third party services you sign up to with your gmail.com<http://gmail.com/> 
address. Google is responsible for Gmail. The RIPE NCC is responsible for the 
IP addresses. The network operator is responsible for the systems.

Consensus isn't a numbers thing. I think you've misunderstood the process.
