Note (for the IESG) that the GEOPRIV WG closed in 2014.

Yes to the conflict-review response.

Additional comments are for the authors.

If this was an IETF-stream document, we'd have to document the "known
flaws or omissions" that the shepherd writeup alludes to, e.g., in the
Introduction and/or Abstract.

Section 2.1

   Feeds MUST use UTF-8 [RFC3629] character encoding.  Text after a '#'
   character is treated as a comment only and ignored.  Blank lines are
   similarly ignored.

Comments are ignored only to the end of the current line, I trust.
(What's the line separator?)

Section 3.4

   As a publisher can change geolocation data at any time and without
   notification, consumers SHOULD implement mechanisms to periodically
   refresh local copies of feed data.  In the absence of any other
   refresh timing information, it is recommended that consumers SHOULD
   refresh feeds no less often than weekly.

And presumably not so often that it causes excessive load/traffic,
either.

Section 8.1

   To date, geolocation feeds have been shared informally in the form of
   HTTPS URIs exchanged in email threads.  The two example URIs
   documented above describe networks that change locations
   periodically, the operators and operational practices of which are
   well known within their respective technical communities.

Er, which two URIs are those, again?

Section 11.2

RFC 4180 feels kind of normative ot me, and perhaps 5952 as well.

Appendix A

A clearer separation between the two code files might be helpful (e.g.,
separate BEGIN/END CODE markers).

No objection, although there should probably be an annotation along the lines of "...the (now closed) GEOPRIV working group..."

IESG discussion indicated we want to be clear on that GEOPRIV is closed in the response.

I think the reply is fine but I agree that we could add the word "concluded" or something.

However, I wonder why this work went to ISE. I guess we could have published this in the IETF as "Google's Geofeed Format" or something. Was that considered/discussed anywhere?
