Hi,
Can someone point me to the latest information on the minimum IPv6 prefix
providers will accept for Provider Independent IPv6 prefixes?
Thanks
Frank

Ask the providers directly, it is their network thus they will have their own policies.
In general though, ASNs are following:
http://www.space.net/~gert/RIPE/ipv6-filters.html
I don't know how common the strict/non-strict case is though, but looking at GRH (http://www.sixxs.net/tools/grh/) it seems that most ASN's are properly filtering, thus using the strict model.
Of course don't forget to signup for GRH if you are going to/are participating in the IPv6 BGP and also of course sign up to ipv6-ops to
keep informed about technical issues (SnR is quite high fortunately):

The strict filter is still broken in at least one way.
ipv6 prefix-list ipv6-ebgp-strict permit 2001:500::/30 ge 48 le 48
http://www.arin.net/reference/micro_allocations.html
Note that there are /45's, /46's, /47's and /48's right now. The
filter allows only /48's. Of note, this will break access to the
F-Root name server, we announce it from both a /47 and a /48 (local
peers only) in IPv6.
I believe there are other issues with the strict filter, but don't have
the time to track them down right now.

Then mail Gert Doering about it, if he doesn't know he can't update it 
ipv6 prefix-list ipv6-ebgp-strict permit 2001:500::/30 ge 48 le 48

If you have them, please pass them on to Gert and possibly also spam ipv6-ops.
