[db-wg] NWI-10 Definition of Country

Hi,

I'm new to DB-WG, but want to express my opinion in this regard,
from problem definition:
"Historically the country code was used to refer to the location of the
network"

There are plenty of organization out there that are already set their
network and firewalls rules to use country code value in delegation file as
reference to the location of the network.

Changing the rule to to something new, will cause problem for clients and
providers, so I don't think it is a good idea,
country code in delegation file can be synced with the country code for
resource object in RIPE DB.
A new attribute in organization object refers to where the resource holder
is legally based is totally fine, but having the same value in delegation
file can break networks and services.
