Thus spake "Alec H. Peterson" <ahp@hilander.com>
<Putting on my hat as ARIN AC Chair> I see this as purely an operational issue.
ARIN explicitly does not guarantee routability of prefixes it assigns.
This is a case of ARIN knowingly assigning unusable space to customers. There's a huge difference there.
If service providers choose to filter ARIN allocations, then that is an operational decision. I really don't see what action you expect ARIN to take along these lines.
Assign him some temporarly space in a usable block while he tries to get the offending ASs to fix their filters, and stop assigning out of 69/8 until it actually works. This isn't rocket science. S
