Are you sure?  According to ARIN staff, current implementation of policy 
is that all requests are approved since there are no defined criteria 
that would allow them to deny any.  So far, nobody's shown interest in 
plugging that hole in the policy because it'd be a major step forward if 
IPv6 were popular enough for anyone to bother wasting it...
