[db-wg] Geolocation data prototype in the RIPE Database

Hank,

What do you propose exactly?

Should we ask the RIPE NCC to e-mail each holder of an ERX block and
help them update their country code?

Should they make a best guess based on routing (RIS probably has a broad
enough view to handle anycast addresses and the like too) and set the
country code to that country if the ERX holder does not get back within
a certain time?

Or... what exactly?
