+1 and I would like to suggest an adjustment: Not everyone will add the "geofeed" value and the geolocations in the csv will not validated by a 3rd party and may also be not up to date. I suggest to make the csv creation (of each INETNUM object) automatic and hosted by RIPE NCC, RIPE NCC can use all the current ATLAS Probes in order to check the physical location of each ip (using latencies from many probes to each ip, and using latencies from many probes to each router in the routing path to each ip, other ICMP queries can be used as well to query the routers in the routing path for physical information such as timezone as additional measures, etc). Algorithem will be efficient meaning at first only small number of probes will check each ip and then more probes physically near the first probe with the smallest latency.

I don't think that is what is happening, this is more analogous to "abuse-mailbox:". The value contains an email address (which is an entrypoint outside the database, and interacting with the entrypoint is outside the scope of this working group). The "geofeed:" attribute is a pointer to elsewhere, and what a data consumer wants to do with that information is up to them.
