ISPs in the ARIN region have never been forced to deploy within a /32.
In fact, the original ARIN IPv6 allocation policy was identical to the
IPv6 policy in every other region. None of the ARIN changes have ever 
restricted ISPs to a /32 allocation. That is merely the MINIMUM 
allocation to an ISP.

I would hope that the ARIN Board of Trustees would never accept language
that allows the allocation to be ripped from under an ISP on short
notice.

Personally I would like to see the temporary 6RD policy have a fixed
term which would be the minimum number of years followed by a regular
review term (perhaps every two years) and then a notice period of
two years to return the allocation. And all ISPs would get notice
at the same time.

It is none of ARIN's business. That particular allocation was made by
the IETF/IANA and is outside of ARIN's control.
