Perhaps a solution for making a proxy for abuse reporting

On June 24th, 2007 Jon Garfunkel says:

Only today I learned about the ICANN meetings in San Juan, and by coincidence, I have been talking over the last week to several people about the problems of remediating online abuse, with several communities: victims, aggravators, online publishers, civic bloggers, registrars, lawyers.

It seems to me like relying on an email address as an operational point of contact is, if you'll forgive the expression, a bit 20th century. It seems to me that a protocol with a web-based submission form would be much more effective in being able to file, and manage, online abuse complaints. I have started drawing one up here-- the Protocol for Online Abuse Reporting-- and posted it here:
