I tend to agree with you. The /42 has been sub-allocated from Surfnet to the RIPE NCC (the NCC being "Just any Surfnet customer" here, not acting in their function as RIR).
But RIPE NCC as RIR did approve it according to 5.4.2 of ripe-246. How many hats does RIPE NCC have in this case :-)
This is not the case. Each assignment has been made to a separate organisation. There is a single assignment for the RIPE NCC. There is a separate assignment for the RIPE meeting. RIPE is not the same as the RIPE NCC.
Similarly, assignments made to employees' home networks are to separate End Users and not the RIPE NCC.
Each assignment within the allocation is to a separate End Site.
This all happened when I already left surfnet. So I don't know the details. But this sounds strange. Are you saying surfnet assigned /48s directly to RIPE NCC employees? I suppose surfnet dealt with one customer, RIPE NCC, and assigned several /48s to it. BTW, I agree RIPE* is special. I can understand the need for separate /48s for the RIPE NCC office and the RIPE meetings. However, I would expect RIPE NCC employees to get /64s from the RIPE NCC /48 or get a /48 from their home ISP. rvdp
