The problem with "only" in the above is that the less-preferred email address is still usable, and should be used whenever the more-preferred email address doesn't work as expected. Resource holders (or their delegates) are expected to monitor both addresses for abuse complaints: see 5.3.3 of https://www.apnic.net/community/policy/resources. Given the above, it looks like the definition of "pref" from RFC 6350 covers what's intended. > For example, since the proposal of provisioning the abuse mailbox seems > something accepted by every RIR according to what is described in > https://www.ripe.net/participate/policies/proposals/2019-04, RIRs can agree > on a common way to include it in the RDAP response (maybe they're just doing > this, please members from RIRs have a voice if you think!) For reference, there is an RDAP profile for the RIRs, available at https://bitbucket.org/nroecg/nro-rdap-profile/raw/v1/nro-rdap-profile.txt and registered with IANA (see https://www.iana.org/assignments/rdap-extensions/rdap-extensions.xhtml). It is not yet implemented by all RIRs. Relevantly, it requires RIRs to include abuse contact details for INR objects where possible, and also notes that the "pref" parameter may appear in jCards. It does not include anything about marking/distinguishing email addresses that are intended for automatic abuse reporting or similar, though. -Tom _______________________________________________ regext mailing list regext@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/regext
