However, that means to replace the current POC info you need at least two URLs and probably more if you want to support a web form and possibly an API option. But I don't believe a single URL is a viable solution. <u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">But then, with multiple URLs there becomes a question of order of preference.

But a flag day on the data consumption side, would be unacceptable, at least in my opinion. So, there would need to be an overlap where both the Abuse POC and Abuse URL Data are available, and I think we are talking about multiple years of overlap. Further, for at least for part of that time those that want to provide only an Abuse URL would still need to provide an Abuse POC. <u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">There are many users of the current Abuse POC, and an abrupt change in the format of this data is not acceptable in my opinion. So, while I support work in this area, some changes are most definitely needed, and long-term this seems like the right direction, nevertheless, we need to proceed very carefully. Therefore, without at least a more detailed and lengthy transition plan, I can not support any proposal that effectively eliminates the Abuse POC as we know it today. I would support the addition of a URL option, without the elimination of the Abuse POC at this time.<u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks. <u></u><u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal">On Wed, Oct 27, 2021 at 2:10 AM William Herrin <<a href="mailto:bill@herrin.us" target="_blank">bill@herrin.us</a>> wrote:<u></u><u></u></p></div><blockquote style="border-top:none;border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:1pt solid rgb(204,204,204);padding:0in 0in 0in 6pt;margin-left:4.8pt;margin-right:0in"><p class="MsoNormal">On Tue, Oct 26, 2021 at 2:59 PM John Santos <<a href="mailto:john@egh.com" target="_blank">john@egh.com</a>> wrote:<br>> My domain has a valid abuse contact (me), and it's been years since I actually<br>> received anything except spam.
