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.
