The IPv6 end user assignment policies are pretty strict in that regard.
There is no option to give "10 addresses" to a user - period. When becoming LIR, you've signed that you'll follow the RIPE policies - and this is established RIPE policy.
So the whole question is moot.
You need to register a network prefix in an inet6num, rather than an address range. The closest you could get to 10 addresses is 16, which would be a /124, I think.
I apologise if this is moot, but an answer would really be appreciated. This becomes a problem with private users as it already is today. We can't store data about every single private user into a public database, and there might also be issues regarding the privacy act. It breaks the "true spirit of IPv6"; "have enough addresses, and no questions asked".
Would there be any real value in registering private users in Whois? How likely is it that the end user could provide assistance to whoever contacted them? The registration for the network containing the IPv4 /32 on my home ADSL connection shows my ISP's contact information. If I took an IPv6 service from them, I'd expect their contact information to be in that, too. Regards, -- leo vegoda Registration Services Manager RIPE NCC
