[DBWG] Proposal request: Geofeed attribute - RFC 9632 (old RFC9092)

[Hendrik Visage]

Good day,


So as a new member I’ll start to mention some pain points that hit me with the AfriNIC WHOIS database, and lets start with the Geofeed attribute:

Afrinic whois doesn’t currently support that tag. The original RFC9092 was published July 2021, while the new RFC9632 was published in Aug 2024.

Current Afrinic support is only the Remarks attribute, but that attribute, at least for PI resources, isn’t writeable/updatable by the resouce owner, and requires hostmaster at afrinic to assist.

Proposal: AfriNIC WHOIS db to include the Geofeed attribute, and allow the resource owners to add and update it themselves.
