The existing contacts serve that function. If someone at some place is smurfing you, you don't want to talk to some secretary who is going to stick a post-it on some manager's door about it. You want the NOC and you want the person in the NOC who can initiate immediate investigation and correct the problem. Well, at least I do.
As stated in Internic's guidelines on the domain template, the technical contact is "generally...the person or organization who maintains the domain name Registrant's primary name server, resolver software, and database files" The DNS administrator would not automatically be the person who wants to get all the spam, network abuse, and security incident reports. I think the Abuse contact is a good idea. Mark Borchers Network Engineering Dept. Network Two Communications Group "I gotta go now, yeah, I'm running out of change.
