I know for a fact that Netflix bases very little (if any) of their geo-fencing 
on Whois data.

I think if you review the record I stated early on that I didn't believe 
geolocation was a practical use of Whois.

Enforce what? Geolocation is a truly black art and there is no central clearing

I see no reason you can't accomplish this under the proposed policy. I support 
the current draft as previously stated.
