ARIN's requirements for initial space

Hi all,
I have a question about ARIN's multi-homed policy
(http://www.arin.net/initial-isp.html)
They state that we must:
"Provide reassignment information for /29 and shorter prefix lengths
using the Shared WHOIS Project (SWIP) or by providing the same
information fields in an RWHOIS server."
Does this mean we must build an RWHOIS database for our _current_
subnet assignments, even though the blocks actually belong to our
upstream providers? Must we have our upstreams delegate RWHOIS
authority to us for those blocks as well?
Or are they wanting an example of how we will assign their
assignment, using some placeholder numbers?
Also "/29 and shorter prefix lengths" is a bit confusing. They mean
"/29 and larger subnets", right?
Trying to be somewhat clueful before tormenting ARIN...
Thanks.
