if anyone look into geo-addressing it would maybe not be the best to 
locate it around IXes. It is the setup we know best right now but what 
about thinking about further down the road? let the "tax-authorizies" or 
something similar in the countries/region do the work or something?

what I mean, it would be just simple to just let the IX do it (if they 
want to), but maybe it would be better to consider it in a bigger scope 
and some years down the line? Maybe IX would be the first out of many step 
towards geo-addressing...
