I know for a fact that Netflix bases very little (if any) of their geo-fencing on Whois data.

I think if you review the record I stated early on that I didn't believe geolocation was a practical use of Whois.

Really? Source needed. 

In my experience they use other geolocation providers.

Enforce what? Geolocation is a truly black art and there is no central clearing house or community driven policy body driving its practitioners.

I see no reason you can't accomplish this under the proposed policy. I support the current draft as previously stated.

But if I'm running a geolocation service, I can't rely on whois as the sole source of data on where an address is used.  If I have other info that contradicts the whois information, I'd probably just ignore the whois data and go with the facts on the ground.
