Give me a break. Do you really believe that this msg is appropriate for the NANOG mailing list? If you want to talk to Alternet, then talk to Alternet directly. -- Enke

Alternet?

I think that it is appropriate for newcomer networks to ask what the ettiquette is for dealing with routing policy problems here. The eventual solution will obviously require direct contact with alternet, but there are other issues, such as whether broadcasting competing announcements is ok or not (probably best not to... wait until it's all settled). -george william herbert gherbert@crl.com

A lot of times it's very difficult to tell the management of a company who has 'ownership' (meant loosely) of the official records of the CIDR block that they can't use it immediately because someone else is 'borrowing' their address space. And, I _do_ believe that problems such as this are related to the Operation of North American Networks. /cah
