[lir-wg] ripe allocation 82.0.0.0/8 and arin allocation 69.0.0.0/8

ARIN recently released blocks from the 69.0.0.0/8 which are causing
numerous problems with routing in this block.  Some 200 blocks have been
issued from 69.0.0.0/8 and i've spoken with at least 15 operators who have
complained.

I understand the 82.0.0.0/8 block suffers from the same problem.  From
what I can see RIPE has not yet issued any netblocks from this pool.  If
RIPE does issues blocks from this pool will RIPE take back the IP if it
enconters the same problems or will RIPE follow the ARIN approach of no
returns even though ARIN and RIPE are aware of the frustration it is
causing.

Some operators I have spoken with in 69/8 have suffered damage to thier
business operations.

Cheers
Joe Baptista
