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?

Yes. Take each ERX block that was moved from ARIN to RIPE and autosend an
email to tech-c and admin-c and ask what they prefer to change the country
code in that file to. The inetnum object already reflects the proper
country code in 99% of the cases, but for some reason when ARIN and RIPE
did the transfer years ago the delegated-ripencc-latest was ignored and all
objects got recorded with country=EU. Give a time limit of 3 months after
which no more changes allowed.

Hank
