+1 This seems like legal might have forgotten that end user could mean a legal entity (and probably does in far more cases than not). Also I don't get why the geofeed attribute would not be acceptable, when you can add an admin-c attribute with the individual end-users name, address, and phone number. It kinda seems like the geofeed attribute should be one of the least problematic things in the RIPE DB from a PII perspective. Especially when you consider things like how the NCC is just publishing a URL and how a /47 could have a geofeed attribute containing details for individual /48s (or even more specific prefixes). Could someone direct me to what NCC legal's reasoning behind this was? (if it was published) While I would assume they know lots about this as they work at the NCC, I just don't understand the logic and it feels like maybe there was a misunderstanding somewhere. I feel like I am both a bad and good example as I do have a /48 PI that is registered to me as a person, which is kinda what I am trying to say is not common... However a geofeed attribute is nothing compared to the fact that my legal name, address, email address, and phone number are published in the RIPE DB in order for me to have that PI resource. So with regards to PI resources at least, not being able to do Geofeed for /48 makes absolutely no sense to me, in what does it matter if I publish which city I am in if my address is already published. I think this would be the case for all PI resources as they are not to be further assigned to customers and I do think that the address is required according to some policy if I recall correctly. -Cynthia On Tue, Jan 4, 2022 at 7:18 PM Randy Bush via db-wg <db-wg@ripe.net> wrote:

The /48 prefix size is the maximum size suggested in the "BCOP for Operators: IPv6 prefix assignment for end-users": https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-690#4-2--prefix-assignment-optio...
i suspect some confusion caused by the term "end user." i do not expect there are many assignments of /48s to individual human beings. i suspect that what was meant by end "user was" more in the realm of a PoP, or head end, or ...
end users in the PII sense tend to be given /56../64
