And there is another even better solution. Since the "abuse-c:" will not
be required for all inet(6)nums only for the direct allocations you do
not have to set one up for your customer. You just leave it empty and
yours or the one of your the company above you can be used.

So it is not mandatory for everybody. If you decide that you want to
handle abuse for all your customers do it like I said before. If you
want your customers or one of your customers wants to do it by him self
set up the "abuse-c:" for your/this customer.

So you have to make the decision on how you want to handle things, the
proposal just gives you the right tools.


Thanks,

Tobias
