Charles - Criteria for new IPv6 allocations is here: https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.html#six51, and includes meeting any of one the following: • Having a previously justified IPv4 ISP allocation from ARIN or one of its predecessor registries, or; • Currently being IPv6 Multihomed or immediately becoming IPv6 Multihomed and using an assigned valid global AS number, or; • By providing a reasonable plan detailing assignments to other organizations or customers for one, two and five year periods, with a minimum of 50 assignments within 5 years. I'm not certain how this is "fairly difficult", but can have someone from the ARIN Registration Services helpdesk contact you to work through your circumstances. (please contact me directly if that's desired.) FYI, /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN
