as i said to job over on the dark side of the force, the ietf,

    hammer seeks nails, eh?  :)

    geoseekers already mine whois.  so we are putting the keys under the
    streetlight (excuse what may be an american-only idiom).

    asking someone who wants to publish their geofeed location to first deal
    with rpki is an artifical barrier to deployment.

    an artificial barrier to deployment.

    is the rpki to be the next dns/bgp, a place to dump data?

have we all looked at

    https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-opsawg-finding-geofeeds/

it's all pretty much layed out there, i hope.  improvements solicited,
of course.
