Scott,

Here's the relevant policy, emphasis mine:

http://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html

  6.5.8.1:   To qualify for a direct [IPv6] assignment, an
  organization must [...] qualify for an IPv4 assignment
  or allocation from ARIN under the IPv4 policy CURRENTLY
  IN EFFECT.

I wish that sentence was, "... must have qualified for and received an
IPv4 assignment or allocation managed by ARIN." The difference
excludes thousands of organizations in good standing with resources
under ARIN's management, including mine.

I hold a multihomed /23 under ARIN's management. The contacts are up
to date and its all in good standing. I DO NOT qualify for the minimum
/22 assignment under the policy currently in effect. Therefore I DO
NOT qualify for an IPv6 end-user assignment.

Regards,
Bill Herrin
