The IPv6 experts I've read seem to have a pretty strong consensus that the minimum assignment to an end user should be either /48 or /56. Setting ARIN policy that encourages assignments smaller than -both- of these numbers would be a bad idea IMHO. Again I remind everyone that a /64 assignment to an end user, even for dynamic or residential use, is absolutely positively 100% wrong. Doing so prevents the end user from configuring their local lans as IPv6 is designed. They need at least a /60 for that. If you are assigning /64's to end users, you are doing it wrong.
