I noticed this item from 7 May 2007 that I think would support my 
suggestion:

     WHEREAS, community access to Internet Protocol (IP) numbering 
Resources has proved essential to the successful growth of the Internet; 
and,

     WHEREAS, ongoing community access to Internet Protocol version 4 
(IPv4) numbering resources can not be assured indefinitely; and,

     WHEREAS, Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) numbering resources are 
available and suitable for many Internet applications,

     BE IT RESOLVED, that this Board of Trustees hereby advises the 
Internet community that migration to IPv6 numbering resources is necessary 
for any applications which require ongoing availability from ARIN of 
contiguous IP numbering resources; and,

     BE IT ORDERED, that this Board of Trustees hereby directs ARIN staff 
to take any and all measures necessary to assure veracity of applications 
to ARIN for IPv4 numbering resources; and,

     BE IT RESOLVED, that this Board of Trustees hereby requests the ARIN 
Advisory Council to consider Internet Numbering Resource Policy changes 
advisable to encourage migration to IPv6 numbering resources where 
possible.

Unanimously passed by the Board of Trustees on 7 May 2007.
