An ISP requesting an assignment would typically request a /32

For policy, I'd read the ARIN nrpm's section on v6 assignment.

https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#six

I'd also get a book, for background, something like:

http://www.amazon.com/Running-IPv6-Iljitsch-van-Beijnum/dp/1590595270/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1287244118&sr=8-3#reader_1590595270

Then move on to the Internet which as with most things is where the most cuurent if not helpful information resides.
