No, I didn't quit reading.. The issue being a newcomer and not fully versed on the levels, I never made the connection of the /36 to the 2X-Small Category. A simple addition of adding in a reference to that category would make it a lot more clear..
Something as simple as changing to the below, would have more easily triggered that connection. **There is a temporary IPv6 fee waiver for organizations in the 3X-Small service category. A 3X-Small organization may receive registry services for up to a /36 of total IPv6 space and remain in the 3X-Small service category and not be charged at the 2X-Small fee schedule. This waiver will expire 31 December 2026.* On Fri, Jul 14, 2023 at 1:57 PM Jon Lewis <jle...@lewis.org> wrote: > On Fri, 14 Jul 2023, Robert Webb wrote: > > > For all of you who have historical knowledge of how ARIN has/does > operate, throw that out the window and look at it from a newcomer point of > view and the wording being taken at > > face value. > > You just stopped reading after the part you liked :) > > "There is a temporary IPv6 fee waiver for organizations in the 3X-Small > service category.
