None of them is IETF.
True, however at least two of the three are quite active in IPv6 related issues within the IETF and I think it safe to assume technical concerns from the IETF (and elsewhere) were taken into account during the development of the current v6 policies.

IPng WG has no idea on addressing architecture for multihoming.
IPng WG has no idea on how global routing table size should
be managed.
Yes. However, the RIRs have come under significant criticism in the past for being perceived as road blocks to IPv6 allocations and have, in fact, reduced the requirements for v6 space. Even in this list, they are criticized for making obtaining address space 'hard'.

Seems they are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
