Dear RIPE DBWG,

Most people seem to assume it can be reliably used for geolocation
purposes. That would be the most obvious use case for this attribute.
Entering an optional value would signify that all the addresses in
this block are used within the geographical boundary of the country
defined by the code. Where the addresses are used in multiple
countries, it may be possible to show this at the assignment object
level. Otherwise the optional country: attribute could be omitted and
the geolocation information would be determined by the geofeed:
attribute.

 
Hi Denis,
Thanks for your email, brother!

imho:
...no need to ommit it; if it's possible to (i) interpret 
country: attribute values as default, when it exist, 
for INET(6)NUM objects without geofeed: attribute 
values; and (ii) give priority to geofeed: attribute 
values against country: ones.

Shalom,

This issue has been discussed many times over the last couple of
decades. Most recently during the discussion over NWI-10 in Oct/Nov
2019 and early in 2020 on this mailing list. I think it is long
overdue for a resolution...

cheers
