New Draft Document: RIPE Whois Registration in 2005: What should be in Whois and Why?
Dear Colleagues, At RIPE 49, Eva Ericsson Rabete (TeliaSonera) made a presentation to the Address Policy Working Group in which she asked some questions about the state of the RIPE Whois Database. Following the discussion at the meeting, Eva was asked to take the discussion onto this list (Action Point 49.4). A draft document discussing the uses of the RIPE Whois Database, and detailing questions to consider, has been published in the "Latest Draft Documents" section of the RIPE Document Store. The purpose of this draft document is to encourage discussion about what elements should be in the Whois Database and why they should be there.

The Israeli exchange (IIX) filters based on country tag: http://www.isoc.org.il/fr_reload.html?iix/2x_bylaws.4 Since the exchange is designated to only route intra-Israel traffic, the country tag on inetnum entries is the easiest way to filter traffic.
