        My recommendation is to write a letter (in german) and fax it
over to their fax# with the urls clearly written out (eg: iana vs their url)
showing the problem with the address space.  it'll likely sufficently
confuse someone that they'll be curious and research it and solve
the problem.

        linking to stuff like the bogon-announce list too wouldn't
be a bad idea either :)
