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,
