Hello Jeroen, Firstly apologies for the delay in finding a solution to the /48 restriction on "geofeed:". I'm discussing a possible alternative with our Legal department, and hope to have an answer for you and the DB-WG soon. Regards Ed Shryane RIPE NCC

How does the working group feel about this restriction? Is it useful? Should it be lifted? If the latter, what would be the process?
I will ask our Legal team to re-examine the prefix size restriction and keep you and the DB-WG informed. Regards Ed Shryane RIPE NCC
Hi Ed,
Did something come out of this?
It is a very silly restriction, especially for PI /48's but also for the simple fact that one can register very small prefixes (I've done IPv4 /28 and IPv6 /56) in the actual geofeeds file.
Greets, Jeroen
