Hi Job, Colleagues, Firstly, apologies for the delay in finding a solution to the /48 restriction on the geofeed implementation.
Our Legal team have considered the concerns from a part of the community regarding the eligible size for “geofeed:” validation and concluded the following: Since resources with prefix size equal to the size distributed/registered by the RIPE NCC to a resource holder is not considered to be personal data, an equal prefix size may receive the “geofeed:” validation. Accordingly, we will allow "geofeed:" on ALLOCATED PA or top-level ASSIGNED PI (for IPv4) and ALLOCATED-BY-RIR on top-level ASSIGNED PI (for IPv6). We will also start enforcing the same validation on "remarks: geofeed" as on "geofeed:" for consistency. Please let us know what you think. We would like to implement these changes soon and include them in a new Whois release 1.103.
