Since these things are typically full of private or at least semi-private
info, I'll be surprised if anyone sends you a real one.
Having gone through it several times though, I'll say all you need is to
fill out http://www.arin.net/library/templates/net-isp.txt and add in some
additional info/detail they want but don't ask for in the template. See
http://www.arin.net/policy/ipv4.html, the part under ISP Additional
Requests. i.e. for non-swip'd space, they want details...not just a count
of "we're using x hundred IPs for web sites, X thousand for dial-up ports,
etc.", but "we're using x hundred IPs for the following web sites [list of
urls/domains], Y hundred IPs for Y hundred dial-up ports in city A, ..."
For good measure, any IP block (swip'd or not) >=/24, give them details
as to what it's being used for, how many IPs are currently in use, etc.
If you don't follow these two pieces of advice, I'll bet someone lunch
that they'll reply to your template asking for more info (which will slow
the process). Also, though you probably took way longer than 3 months to
use up your initial allocation, don't bother asking for more than you
reasonably think you'll use in 3 months unless that would be smaller than
/20 (I think that's the minimun block size ARIN will give you).
