Hi Scott,

Given that ARIN utilizes a sparse allocation strategy for IPv6 resources (in my 
organization’s case, we could go from a /32 to a /25 without renumbering), IMO 
it would not be unreasonable for the allocation to be adjusted down simply by 
changing the mask and keeping the /36 or /32 unallocated until the sparse 
allocations are exhausted. Any resources numbered outside the new /40 would 
need to be renumbered, to be sure, but that’s most likely less work than a 
complete renumbering.

That said, I’ll leave it up to Registration Services to provide a definitive 
answer.
