I am not aware that IN-ADDR.ARPA and IP6.ARPA registries exist.  
They are not mentioned in the www.iana.org page.  We have to 
mention a registry, and the .ARPA registry seems to be the 
closest.

No, I don't think it matters that they are not mentioned in the 
NTIA IANA contract.

We need IN-ADDR.ARPA and IP6.ARPA services.  We should mention the
registry or registries thaat are involved in delivering that service.
.ARPA is the closest fit, even though it doesn't seem to match exactly,
so I think we should say that it's the closest fit.
