There isn't currently any ARIN policy that specifically mentions  
anycast.  There is, as Rodney mentioned, a policy for micro- 
allocations for Internet infrastructure (including TLD/root  
operators) that gets used for anycast instances.

There was a proposal for a new anycast-specific policy (2006-5) but  
it died at the spring meeting in Montréal due to lack of consensus to  
move the proposal forward.

There are notes on what happened at the meeting regarding that policy  
here:
