ARIN does reservations (unsure at what length, but at least down to /31).
Do they still do that? Back when I was at IANA, one of the justifications the RIRs gave for the /12s they received was that they were going to be using the 'bisection' method of allocation which removes the need for reservation. Last I heard, APNIC was using the bisection method...
ARIN is doing the same (the 'bisection' method) with our IPv6 management since January 2010: we refer to the "sparse allocation" approach and it was requested by the community during the ARIN/NANOG Dearborn meeting. FYI, /John John Curran President and CEO ARIN
