AFAIK Ripe does not set a default, it is up to the LIR. You can assign geoloc to orgs ans assignments Ripe publishes a list of all allocations made to the provider and lists their country of record. If the address space is unassigned I'm not sure as it is not listed in the file of allocations that contains the country , but I would guess NL as the RIPE country of record.
Thanks for that.Well, if there is no default and the member has to add a country to the assignment or allocation, then the question becomes whether the degree of truth implemented by said member when updating the WHOIS database with the assignment is sufficient to form a case for or against them.
If there is no strict policy that RIPE publishes and/or enforces that defines associating assignments with the country in which they are used, I struggle to see how a lawyer could - in a 1+1 way - assert that the data is fraudulent. After all, the lack of definitive policy lends itself to the notion that (the truthfulness of) this data can be not-so-unreasonably discretionary.
Then again, lawyers don't generally go the 1+1 route :-). Mark.
