"Under this policy, each (current or future) Internet DNS root server (as listed in the root-servers.net zone) in the RIPE region will be assigned a block of IPv6 address space for purposes of root server operations. The size of the block shall be the same as the size of the minimum allocation to Local Internet Registries (LIRs) valid at the time of the root server assignment."

So who authorized this? It looks a lot like the RIPE NCC doesn't have to stick to its own rules when it doesn't feel like it. And it's extremely wasteful to use 2^96 addresses when only 1 is needed.
