*nods* I think a lot of times people forget about the little ISP that
only has a /23 of IPv4. Heck, I know one guy that owns at least a half
dozen ISPs, none of them more than 1k customers, most under 300. I
think people get caught up in the scale of global carriers, nationwide
ISPs, etc.

If the smallest IPv6 allocation an ISP can get is a /36 (X-small
or up to /20 in IPv4), but we have a fee established for XX-small
(up to /40 IPv6 and /22 IPv4), why don't we permit an ISP to get a
/40? Small providers may not want to increase their ARIN fees to
simply be able to get their own IPv6 allocation. Seems
counter-intuitive in getting everyone on the IPv6 train. It also
falls on a clean boundary, so there shouldn't be any concerns with
issued subnets.
If there's no good reason why we're not doing this, how to we
start the process to allow this?
A little more than two years ago we considered a policy to do just that;
Draft Policy ARIN-2013-3: Tiny IPv6 Allocations for ISPs
https://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2013_3.html
The consensus at the time was that a /40 was too small for an ISP and
that we should reconsider the fee structure instead. That has been in
process with the fee committee that was discussed previously.
However, if there is a new consensus in support of allowing ISPs to
receive a /40, I'd recommend the text of ARIN-2013-3 as a starting point.
