I support this, but I think a clarification is needed. Here :


Be currently multihomed using IPv6 connectivity to two
            or more separate ARIN LIR's using at least one /48 assigned
            to them by each LIR.


Who is using the /48 ? The LIR's ? or the applicant ? Presumably the  
latter,
but that's not how it reads to me.

How about

Be currently multihomed using IPv6 connectivity in at least two / 
48's, assigned to them
            by two
            or more separate ARIN LIR's.

Regards
Marshall
